Description:
The book that redefined our understanding of the legacy of European colonialism and empire, now reissued with a new PMC jacket
'Stimulating, elegant and pugnacious' Observer
In this highly acclaimed work, Edward Said surveys the history and nature of Western attitudes towards the East, considering Orientalism as a powerful European ideological creation - a way for writers, philosophers and colonial administrators to deal with the 'otherness' of eastern culture, customs and beliefs. He traces this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval, Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West's romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. Drawing on his own experiences as an Arab Palestinian living in the West, Said examines how these ideas can be a reflection of European imperialism and racism.

Fun little find!!
Format: Paperback
Purple space chickens? Honestly, how do you NOT pick this up? My 9-year-old — who would normally choose sports, snacks, or making mysterious smells over reading — actually sat down and READ this willingly. Not only that, I heard random little laughs coming from his room, which basically never happens with books.
For once, getting him to read didn’t feel like I was negotiating a hostage situation. The story was goofy, fun, and weird in exactly the right way for this age group. Overall, such a fun little treasure find for reluctant readers and goofy boys with endless energy.

Love all her books but this one on Kindle has no color
Format: Kindle
Love that she sends free books for Kindle but this one is all black and white inside. For children should have lots of color, first time being disappointed but still good book
