A collection of five wide-ranging interviews with Edward Said (1935-2003), covering topics such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, his groundbreaking work of literary scholarship Orientalism, critical theory, music and more. Includes a new preface by Eqbal Ahmad.
From Publisher's Weekly: "Through five interviews with the author of Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism, Alternative Radio director Barsamian provides an accessible, engaging introduction to Said's thoughts on topics from Jane Austen to Jerusalem. Said is forthright, even blunt, and he demonstrates a thrilling capacity for integrating culture and politics-discussing, for example, how Joseph Conrad understood imperialism but was unable to see possibilities for national independence movements."
