By the time of his death in 2003, Edward Said was one of the most
famous literary critics of the twentieth century. Said's work has
been hugely influential far beyond academia. As a prominent
advocate for the Palestinian cause and noted cultural critic, Said
redefined the role of the public intellectual. This volume explores
the problems and opportunities afforded by Said's work: its
productive and generative capacities as well as its in-built
limitations. After Said captures the essence of Said's intellectual
and political contribution and his extensive impact on postcolonial
studies. It examines his legacy by critically elaborating his core
concepts and arguments. Among the issues it tackles are humanism,
Orientalism, culture and imperialism, exile and the contrapuntal,
realism and postcolonial modernism, world literature, Islamophobia,
and capitalism and the political economy of empire. It is an
excellent resource for students, graduates and instructors studying
postcolonial literary theory and the works of Said.
