Said, Paperback","description":"A landmark work from the author of \u003ci\u003eOrientalism\u003c\/i\u003e that explores the long-overlooked connections between the Western imperial endeavor and the culture that both reflected and reinforced it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as the Western powers built empires that stretched from Australia to the West Indies, Western artists created masterpieces ranging from \u003ci\u003eMansfield Park \u003c\/i\u003eto \u003ci\u003eHeart of Darkness \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAida. \u003c\/i\u003eYet most cultural critics continue to see these phenomena as separate. Edward Said looks at these works alongside those of such writers as W. B. Yeats, Chinua Achebe, and Salman Rushdie to show how subject peoples produced their own vigorous cultures of opposition and resistance. Vast in scope and stunning in its erudition, \u003ci\u003eCulture and Imperialism \u003c\/i\u003ereopens the dialogue between literature and the life of its time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward W.
