University Presses Edward Said

"Edward Said was an intellectual with a passion for justice and he allowed nothing to deter him in its pursuit. "Edward Said: A Legacy of Emancipation and Representation" reflects this."--Archbishop Desmond Tutu ""Edward Said: Emancipation and Representation" explores themes of aesthetics, identity, colonialism, Palestine, Israel, Zionism and intellectuals. Each section includes path-breaking new work in the growing field of Edward Said Studies. No other existing book deals with Said's work from so many varied perspectives."--Hamid Dabashi, Columbia University "These fine essays bring sympathetic yet critical attention to Said's remarkable range of contributions to politics and to the study of literature and culture. Reading them, one gets a vivid sense not merely of his ideas and his arguments but his vast yet unsentimental humanity."--Akeel Bilgrami, Columbia University
