Culture and Imperialism

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between imperialism and Western culture, Edward W. Said's collection of essays examines how literature, art, and music reflect and shape political and economic realities. Spanning works from Jane Austen to Salman Rushdie and including commentary on media coverage of the Gulf War, the book initiates a critical dialogue that remains relevant. Its vast scope and profound insights into the connections between culture and power highlight the enduring impact of Said's analysis on contemporary discussions.
