An analysis of the impact and work of Edward Said.
Columbia University’s English Department
may seem a surprising place from which to move the world, but this is
what Professor Edward Said accomplished. He not only transformed the
West’s perception of the Israel-Arab conflict, he also led the way
toward a new, post-socialist life for leftism in which the proletariat
was replaced by “people of color” as the redeemers of humankind. During
the ten years that have passed since his death there have been no signs
that his extraordinary influence is diminishing.
