Orientalism (Edward Said)

Really, really love this clip.  (Sadly, no time to spare right now. I’ll update this page later, with an overview of Edward Said’s biography and an overview of his books and researches).

    Thanks for the comments. With due respect to people (I refuse using the term ‘race’ to prevent from stereotyping) from other parts of the globe, say, the so-called ‘West’, Edward Said seems to imply a philosophical overtone wherein the concept of ‘development’ is based on the ‘Western’ concept of ‘development’. The study on Orientalism is trying to reveal the ‘identity’ of culture and the price that should be payed in preserving it.
