Praise

“Intellectual history on a high order … and very exciting.” —The New York Times

“Powerful and disturbing…. The theme is the way in which intellectual traditions are created and transmitted.” —The New York Review of Books

“Stimulating, elegant yet pugnacious…. Said observes the West observing the Arabs, and he does not like what he finds.” —The Observer

“An important book…. Never has there been as sustained and as persuasive a case against Orientalism as Said’s.” —Jerusalem Post
