Edward Said (1935-2003)Andrew N. Rubin. "Edward Said (1935-2003)." Edward Said and Critical Decolonization. Ed. Ferial Ghazoul. Cairo: American University in Cairo Press, 2007. Edward Said and Critical Decolonization strives to cover the multifaceted career of Said, with empha-sis on his critical contribution to decolonization and resistance to hegemony. There are moving tes-timonies by friends and relatives, students and colleagues, which throw light on his personality. An article by Said himself on the idea of the uni-versity is published here for the first time. The volume also includes articles exploring in depth Said’s political, critical, and aesthetic positions—including his views on intellectuals and secular criticism, on traveling theory, and humanism. And Said’s thought is explored in relation to other major thinkers such as Freud and Foucault. |
