Culture and Resistance

Edward W. Said discusses the centrality of popular resistance to his understanding of culture, history, and social change. He reveals his thoughts on the war on terrorism, the war in Afghanistan, and the Israeli-Palestine conflict, and lays out a compelling vision for a secular, democratic future in the Middle East-- and Globally.

Said, a renowned cultural and literary critic and author of Orientalism, The Question of Palestine, Covering Islam, and The Politics of Dispossession. As such, this book covers topics of encroachment and conflict in our modern world.
