	Al-Ahram Weekly \| The death of Edward Said \| Obituaries
		What is beyond discussion, though, is that Edward Said was as great an advocate of his people as he was a champion of knowledge in the service of humanity, of the image of the intellectual, of the victims of colonialism and of the wretched of the Third World.
		Such are the images Said carried with him, and they are things all of us will have in common as long as the world remains as he saw it when, through experience, research and the pen, he caught evil red-handed.
		But Edward Said was not just a great scholar, a brilliant mind, a creative artist, an ardent nationalist, an advocate of justice, a free spirit, an unrelenting force for integrity, an uncompromising fighter on behalf of human dignity, and all the other sets of superlative depictions that he so aptly deserves.

	Orientalism
		Said focuses his attention in this work on the interplay between the "Occident" and the "Orient." The Occident is his term for the West (England, France, and the United States), and the Orient is the term for the romantic and misunderstood Middle East and Far East.
		Said was born in Jerusalem, Palestine in 1935.
		In 1948, while Said was a grade school student (at a private English school in Cairo) the state of Israel was created and 80 percent of the Palestinian population was left without a home.

	Edward Said - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Said was born in Jerusalem (then in the British Mandate of Palestine) on November 1, 1935.
		Said is best known for describing and critiquing "Orientalism", which he perceived as a constellation of false assumptions underlying Western attitudes toward the East.
		Said's relationship with the Palestinian Authority was once so bad that PA leaders banned the sale of his books in August 1995, but improved when he hailed Arafat for rejecting Barak's offers at the Camp David 2000 Summit.

	Critical Theory: Edward Said (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Said has been a visiting professor at Yale, Stanford, Harvard, and John Hopkins universities and currently teaches comparative literature at Columbia University.
		Said was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in 1972, and his Orientalism (1978), which won the National Book Award for criticism, is considered by many to be the text that inaugurated postcolonial studies in Western academia.
		In Orientalism, Said maps out the various ways in which the "oriental" is constructed by the colonizing orientalist and how this construct ultimately reveals not the nature of the colonized subject but the unconscious desires of the colonizer.

	Amazon.com: Orientalism: Books: Edward W. Said (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Said argues that concepts such as the Orient, Islam, the Arabs, etc. are too vast to be grouped together and presented as one coherent whole, encompassing all there is to know about the subject.
		Said bases his view on the shear width and breadth of the subject, the inherent bias of conflicting cultures and more recently the role of the Orientalism in colonialism.
		Said lays the blame for nearly everything wrong in the islamic world at the feet of the West, and thus helped entrench the culture of victimhood that feeds into suicide bombings and riots against political cartoons.

	Sovereignty And Its Discontents
		SAID is a working group of the British International Studies Association (BISA).
		One of the founding premises of SAID is that many of the competing schools of thought within international studies can be re-assessed in light of a widespread intellectual scepticism toward sovereignty.
		Therefore SAID seminar series and conferences will appeal to a critically-minded audience who are frustrated with the insularity of the competing approaches that currently dominate the discipline of international studies.

		Sources said that some of the other journalists who received the leak did not use the information because they were uncomfortable with unmasking an undercover agent or because they did not consider the information relevant to Wilson's report about Niger.

		But he also said that "there is a war going on in the Middle East, and members of Hamas are soldiers in that war, and, therefore, it seems to me that they are going to be casualties if they are going to make war."
