 "If one can only read one of Said's 20 books, then I would recommend this one. In it, Said pulls together threads and metaphors from his different works -- literary, political, academic, activist, musical -- to weave a humanist landscape in a style that is between that of an academic speaking to peers and that of an activist addressing an audience. It combines passion with rigour -- the hallmark of Edward Said." parent page (8 - 14 July 2004, issue #698) |
