EDWARD SAID

The field of post-colonial studies would not be what it is today without

the work of Edward Said. Similarly, he has played a vital role in

bringing the plight of Palestine before a world audience.

This volume introduces the ideas at the heart of Said’s work, both

scholarly and journalistic. Together these ideas make a highly

influential statement on the nature of identity formation in the post-

colonial world and offer a new understanding of the links between

text or critic and their material contexts (‘the world’). The authors

ask why this work has proved so important, examining its contexts,

implications and impact.

With its accessible style, clear explanations of key terms, end-of-

chapter summaries and fully annotated guide to further reading, this

revised and fully updated edition of a book first published in 1999 is the

ideal companion for readers new to Said.

Bill Ashcroft teaches English at the University of New South Wales.

Pal Ahluwalia teaches Politics at the University of Adelaide. Both have

published widely in the field of post-colonial studies.
