Edward Said and Critical Decolonization strives to cover the
multifaceted career of Said, with emphasis on his critical
contribution to decolonization and resistance to hegemony. There
are moving testimonies by friends and relatives, students and
colleagues, which throw light on his personality. An article by
Said himself on the idea of the university is published here for
the first time. The volume also includes articles exploring in
depth Said’s political, critical, and aesthetic positions—including
his views on intellectuals and secular criticism, on traveling
theory, and humanism. And Said’s thought is explored in relation to
other major thinkers such as Freud and Foucault.
