Culture and Imperialism

Following his profoundly influential study, Orientalism, Edward Said now expands his scope to explore the cultural component of Western imperialism. From Jane Austen to Salman Rushdie, from Yeats to the media coverage of the Gulf War, Culture and Imperialism is a broad, fierce and wonderfully readable account of the roots of imperialism in European culture. First published in 1993, it remains poignantly relevant to current events.

The Arabic version of this book is translated by Kamal Abu Deeb and published by Dar Adab.
