From the supplier: Edward Said has been applauded as one of the most important literary and cultural critics of the late 20th-century, but the foundation of his work can be questioned under close examination. Said's book, "Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient," established his reputation and claimed Western portrayal of Arabo-Islamic culture revealed more about Western imperialism than the cultures Westerners observed. Some of his important theories contradict one another and some of his historical facts are inaccurate.
