What Is On ‘Orientalism’ About?
The premise of On ‘Orientalism’ without spoilers.
Edward Said’s seminal 1978 work ORIENTALISM has reshaped countless fields, and in this richly illustrated interview he explains the historical backdrop that inspired the book, its central arguments, and how its thesis still speaks to today’s notion of “the Orient.” Said contends that Western—especially American—portrayals of the Middle East as a realm of villains, terrorists and Islamic fundamentalism create a grossly distorted view that ignores the vast diversity and complexity of millions of Arab peoples.
