This collection of literary and cultural essays by Professor Edward Said, which we have long awaited, reaffirms without a doubt that Said is the most influential and brilliant critic of our time. This compilation offers greater proof of the committed critical intellect's contribution to the reservoir of essential values, ideas, and actions in our lives. What gives the issues Edward Said explores in this book an astonishing intimacy is that Said himself is a scholar outside of his homeland, and the Palestinian people to whom he belongs are also displaced, either exiled, or deprived of governance within their homeland.
