Edward W. Said (1935-2003) ranks as one of the most preeminent
public intellectuals of our time. Through his literary criticism,
his advocacy for the Palestinian cause, and his groundbreaking book
"Orientalism", Said elegantly enriched public discourse by
unsettling the status quo. This indispensable volume, the most
comprehensive and wide-ranging resource on Edward Said's life and
work, spans his broad legacy both within and beyond the academy.
The book brings together contributions from thirty-one luminaries -
leading scholars, critics, writers, and activists - to engage
Said's provocative ideas. Their essays and interviews explore the
key themes of emancipation and representation through the prisms of
postcolonial theory, literature, music, philosophy, and cultural
studies. The contributors include: Bill Ashcroft, Ben Conisbee
Baer, Daniel Barenboim, Timothy Brennan, Noam Chomsky, Denise
DeCaires-Narain, Nicholas Dirks, Marc H. Ellis, Rokus de Groot,
Sabry Hafez, Abdirahman A. Hussein, Ardi Imseis, Adel Iskandar,
Ghada Karmi, Katherine Callen King, Joseph Massad, W. J. T.
