Trade ReviewPraise for the author:
'One of the leading thinkers of the age.' - The New York Observer
'Edward Said is the most distinguished and cultural critic now writing in America.' - Cornel West
'Said is a brilliant and unique amalgam of scholar, aesthete, and political activist...[He] challenges and stimulates our thinking in every area.' - Washington Post Book World
'Edward Said helps us to understand who we are and what we must do if we aspire to be moral agents, not servants of power.' - Noam Chomsky
'Future work about or influenced by Said will no doubt be more grandiose and heavyweight than this collection of lectures and essays from the last years of his life. But no other work can be as inspiring as this.' - New Humanist
