Orientalism
Edward W. Said’s Orientalism (1978) is a landmark work that fundamentally reshaped the fields of literary theory, history, political science, and cultural studies. Deeply researched and powerfully argued, the book critiques the Western world’s long-standing tradition of depicting the “Orient” broadly defined as the Middle East, Asia, and North Africa through a lens of exoticism, inferiority, and otherness. Far from being a neutral academic pursuit, Said argues, Orientalism has functioned as a system of knowledge production intimately linked to colonial domination and cultural imperialism.
