I simply love the way Edward Said writes！ This book sometimes went over my head， but always in an inspiring way to learn and read more。 Highly recommended and still very timely。 The Audible version is awesome！“It is， therefore， a great source of virtue for the practiced mind to learn， bit by bit， first to change about in visible and transitory things， so that afterwards it may be possible to leave them behind altogether。 The man who finds his homeland sweet is still a tender beginner; he to whom I simply love the way Edward Said writes！ This book sometimes went over my head， but always in an inspiring way to learn and read more。 Highly recommended and still very timely。 The Audible version is awesome！“It is， therefore， a great source of virtue for the practiced mind to learn， bit by bit， first to change about in visible and transitory things， so that afterwards it may be possible to leave them behind altogether。 The man who finds his homeland sweet is still a tender beginner; he to whom every soil is as his native one is already strong; but he is perfect to whom the entire world is as a foreign land。 The tender soul has fixed his love on one spot in the world; the strong man has extended his love to all places; the perfect man has extinguished his。 From boyhood I have dwelt on foreign soil and I know with what grief sometimes the mind takes leave of the narrow hearth of a peasant's hut， and I know too how frankly it afterwards disdains marble firesides and panelled halls。”― Hugh of Saint Victor， quotes by Said。 。。。more

I picked this book up after reading his Orientalism。 Many people have counted it better than Orientalism but I liked that one a bit more。 （Choices）A simple thing written in a complex way， I'd say。It wasn't as engaging as orientalism and yes it was repetitive just like Orientalism。My favourite thing about this book is"THE GOAL OF US FOREIGN POLICY IS TO BRING ABOUT A WORLD INCREASINGLY SUBJECT TO THE RULE OF LAW。 BUT IT IS THE UNITED STATES WHICH ORGANIZES THE PEACE AND DEFINES THE LAW"。 I picked this book up after reading his Orientalism。 Many people have counted it better than Orientalism but I liked that one a bit more。 （Choices）A simple thing written in a complex way， I'd say。It wasn't as engaging as orientalism and yes it was repetitive just like Orientalism。My favourite thing about this book is"THE GOAL OF US FOREIGN POLICY IS TO BRING ABOUT A WORLD INCREASINGLY SUBJECT TO THE RULE OF LAW。 BUT IT IS THE UNITED STATES WHICH ORGANIZES THE PEACE AND DEFINES THE LAW"。 。。。more

Read for uni。This was a very interesting read which covers an incredible range of authors， novels， disciplines and regions in its quest to analyse how Western culture and the system of imperialism have influenced and are still influencing each other。 I must admit that I often found myself researching these authors and their works or specific events that Said mentioned since I did not know enough about them， so this made understanding his writing a bit more challenging for me personally。 However， Read for uni。This was a very interesting read which covers an incredible range of authors， novels， disciplines and regions in its quest to analyse how Western culture and the system of imperialism have influenced and are still influencing each other。 I must admit that I often found myself researching these authors and their works or specific events that Said mentioned since I did not know enough about them， so this made understanding his writing a bit more challenging for me personally。 However， I found Said's writing style quite good to understand。 As many other reviewers have pointed out， though， he does get a bit repetitive and I think his chapters could have been edited a bit more tightly to avoid this。 However， I disagree with one review I've seen that claimed the last chapter could be disregarded or wasn't related to the rest of the book - I would argue this chapter is one of the most important as Said focuses on US-American imperialism and analyses the Gulf War from 90-91。 While infuriating to read， his analysis was very interesting and even though it was published in 1993， it unfortunately still holds true for the last few years of American interventions in the world。All in all， Said makes interesting connections and if I ever have the time I will definitely finally read "Orientalism" as well。 。。。more

An absolute must read for anyone trying to seriously understand the forces playing out across the spectra of our modern globe。 Often meandering， difficult to parse at points， and unwilling to be pinned down， the book nonetheless manages to create a positive vision for the future of human culture under the long shadow of imperialism。

An excellent book， though in many ways it is a sequel to Orientalism and as such anyone interested in this book should probably read that one first

I read several selections from this book for a literary criticism course I am taking。 It is well written and changed the way I will read literature forever。 It’s shocking to me that Said’s arguments were so controversial。 It speaks to how pervasive imperialism and colonialism has been and continues to be。

Reading this excellent book I realize how little of the power of language is used in everyday life。 Edward Said was a professor of literature at Columbia University， not surprisingly a master of words。 Each sentence in this book is crafted from a large vocabulary to convey exactly what the author intends。 The result is a dense work that doesn't allow the reader either a wandering mind or the common practice of skimming。The man's mastery of English prose is also evident in the depth of his interp Reading this excellent book I realize how little of the power of language is used in everyday life。 Edward Said was a professor of literature at Columbia University， not surprisingly a master of words。 Each sentence in this book is crafted from a large vocabulary to convey exactly what the author intends。 The result is a dense work that doesn't allow the reader either a wandering mind or the common practice of skimming。The man's mastery of English prose is also evident in the depth of his interpretation of classics of literature。 Insightful mentions made of so many works beyond those he has selected for close scrutiny caused me to marvel at Said's erudition。Held up for analysis throughout the book are Rudyard Kipling's Kim， Jane Austen's Mansfield Park and Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness。 I found Said's interpretations so compelling that after completing this book I read the Kipling and Conrad works， prepared to get an extra amount of pleasure from doing so。 His careful analyses made clear how much is contained in literature that can pass without notice to the casual reader。 In fact， an author may not be consciously aware of all that he/she is relating。A written work is a kind of time capsule that cannot help but reveal the time in which it was written。 It is Said's intent to show how literature is a reflection of culture revealing imperialism as an integral part of British life in the 19th and very early 20th centuries， so closely related as to be like wallpaper to a room and so necessary as a support for the economy。 To the British and to the French in Algeria empire was embraced， each colony a necessary part of the nation enlarged， accepted with pride along with the seemingly unquestionable facts that the people of the colonies were both inferior and beneficiary to white Europeans。Culture and Imperialism concludes with an examination of the American empire that while abandoning the idea of placing colonies of settlers abroad retains the central idea that expansion of influence and capitalism across the globe is both good and just regardless of how it may be seen by those subject to domination。 。。。more

Contrapuntal contrapuntal contrapuntal。 This may be Said's favorite word。 From my understanding the book:1。 Orient world and peoples were present in imperial literature only In passing （like a housemaid） even if they occupied a significant theme in the narrative。 Some authors did this subconsciously while for some this was their agenda。 Nevertheless it gave acceptance to the common and middle people of the west that Colonialism was good。2。 Nationalism for independence was good only till a certai Contrapuntal contrapuntal contrapuntal。 This may be Said's favorite word。 From my understanding the book:1。 Orient world and peoples were present in imperial literature only In passing （like a housemaid） even if they occupied a significant theme in the narrative。 Some authors did this subconsciously while for some this was their agenda。 Nevertheless it gave acceptance to the common and middle people of the west that Colonialism was good。2。 Nationalism for independence was good only till a certain。 After independence it turns into colonialism 2。0 and decolonization is not achieved。 This he says can be solved by synthesizing art （I didn't get how though） with it。3。 An eg of his novel analysis。 In Kim， kipling makes the main character travel freely throughout north India。 Said says it signifies freedom on part of the white man to roam free without any real politic conflicts。 The setting is spatially lavish。 Had it been a European novel， a character would be under the constraints of time and space because that world is civilized and hence harder to navigate through。All in all it was a very complex wording book。 Took me 3-4 minutes to read each page。 Said also questions the role of intellectual and third world writers in good depth。 。。。more

This one is hard for me to review。 I've been familiar with Said's work for a while， and have known about his general ideas。 I finally decided to go right to the source and read one of his books （I still want to read Orientalism）。The trouble isn't so much with the idea as with the execution。 This book is convoluted and long-winded。 Sentences go on and on， and clauses just string themselves one after the other。 Embed a clause？ Let's embed three！ The problem of bloat also affects the book structure This one is hard for me to review。 I've been familiar with Said's work for a while， and have known about his general ideas。 I finally decided to go right to the source and read one of his books （I still want to read Orientalism）。The trouble isn't so much with the idea as with the execution。 This book is convoluted and long-winded。 Sentences go on and on， and clauses just string themselves one after the other。 Embed a clause？ Let's embed three！ The problem of bloat also affects the book structure。 Said repeats himself many times， and some of the sections don't really fit the book。 For instance， considering that Said's thesis focuses on the cultural form of the novel， the inclusion of a chapter about the opera Aida， is a strange choice。 Also， it seems to me that Said's analysis of Mansfield Park is much more critical than his analyses of the male authors， like Kipling。 So。 What to do？ Three stars， because 2。5 isn't an option。 。。。more

This one was interesting。 I definitely not agree with everything proposed by Said but his analysis on literature and other forms of art was wonderful to read。 Perhaps sometimes a little repetitive and evidently hard to follow if you aren’t familiar with the authors， novels and poetry discussed but nevertheless， it was an interesting reading， at times enlightening and evident in its achievements regarding matters of research and thought。

Cuốn sách là sư tiếp nối của Đông phương luận nên ý tứ có nhiều chỗ chỉ là phát triển thêm， tất nhiên cũng có những khác biệt， chẳng hạn nếu Đông phương luận tập trung vào văn bản học thuật thì cuốn này tác giả tập trung vào các tác phẩm nghệ thuật [ở phần đầu cuốn sách， về cuối tác giả nói nhiều hơn về chủ nghĩa bá quyền]， chủ yếu là văn học và một vở nhạc kịch Aida của Verdi， và cũng trình bày theo thứ tự thời gian， trong giai đoạn từ thời khai sáng đến gần đây， tương tự cuốn Đông phương luận。 Cuốn sách là sư tiếp nối của Đông phương luận nên ý tứ có nhiều chỗ chỉ là phát triển thêm， tất nhiên cũng có những khác biệt， chẳng hạn nếu Đông phương luận tập trung vào văn bản học thuật thì cuốn này tác giả tập trung vào các tác phẩm nghệ thuật [ở phần đầu cuốn sách， về cuối tác giả nói nhiều hơn về chủ nghĩa bá quyền]， chủ yếu là văn học và một vở nhạc kịch Aida của Verdi， và cũng trình bày theo thứ tự thời gian， trong giai đoạn từ thời khai sáng đến gần đây， tương tự cuốn Đông phương luận。 Cuốn sách khá đồ sộ， không dễ để bao quát hết nội dung， ở đây mình chỉ xin tóm tắt mấy ý:- Mối quan hệ giữa văn hóa và chủ nghĩa bá quyền là mối quan hệ có tính qua lại， nói cách khác các tác giả chịu ảnh hưởng của tư tưởng bá quyền và sáng tác ra tác phẩm， các tác phẩm đến lượt nó lại củng cố phát triển thêm chủ nghĩa đó。- Chủ nghĩa bá quyền không đồng nghĩa với chủ nghĩa thực dân。 Nhiều người [châu Âu] phản đối chủ nghĩa thực dân nhưng tư tưởng của họ vẫn là tư tưởng bá quyền khi cho rằng họ là thượng đẳng còn các chủng tộc khác thì thấp kém hơn [có thể tư tưởng này có từ thời Hy Lạp khi người Hy Lạp coi các dân tộc chung quanh là 'barbarian'， và nói tới đây thì cũng không thể không nhắc tới 'Trung Hoa' khi họ coi các vùng xung quanh là man di mọi rợ， hay， nói lại câu chuyện từ Đông phương luận， người Kinh cho rằng mình 'văn minh' hơn các dân tộc thiểu số]。 Và đương nhiên nói đến đây thì chắc hẳn nhiều người sẽ nghĩ đến Mỹ， quốc gia mà cho đến nay vẫn can thiệp khá nhiều vào các vấn đề quốc tế， để 'uốn nắn' thế giới theo cách họ cho là đúng [cũng là chủ đề của những chương cuối cùng của cuốn sách]。- Chủ nghĩa dân tộc có thể coi là con đẻ của chủ nghĩa bá quyền， theo một cách nào đó [Thời Hy Lạp thì Hy Lạp trở thành quốc gia thống nhất do cuộc chiến với Ba Tư， không nhầm thì tương tự với Nga khi họ chống Mông Cổ]。 Đến đây thì mình nhớ lại câu chuyện tự ti trở thành tự tôn， nhưng chủ nghĩa dân tộc đề cao dân tộc mình thì có vẻ không khác chủ nghĩa bá quyền。 Chủ nghĩa dân tộc đối đầu chủ nghĩa bá quyền， điều này Said không ủng hộ。 Ông không phản đối các dân tộc tìm hiểu về mình， nhưng không phải để tạo dựng chủ nghĩa dân tộc để đối chọi với chủ nghĩa bá quyền。 - Sự chính thống hóa làm lợi cho quyền lực chính thống bằng cách độc tôn cách lý giải có lợi cho mình， đồng thời loại trừ các cách lý giải khác và các giá trị đi kèm các lý giải đó。 Xu hướng chống chính thống đang nổi lên hiện nay đồng thời với những sự bất ổn định。Và còn nhiều điều khác nữa， nhiều điều mình chưa nắm bắt hết được， nhiều cái mình chưa hiểu đúng， xin để lại cho mọi người tự khám phá。 。。。more
