Ask a Librarian. Said, Edward W. New York : Vintage Books, [
It is certainly no exaggeration to say, somewhat more modestly, that it changed how we see the world. One thing that often surprises readers first encountering the book is the fact that it is, in large part, a work of literary criticism. Said certainly understood that colonialism and imperialism are fundamentally political and economic phenomena.
More than three decades after its first publication, Edward Said's groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East has become a modern classic. In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding.

Many scholars place the beginning of postcolonial studies in history, literature, philosophy, anthropology, and the arts at the publication of Said's Orientalism, published in Said focuses his attention in this work on the interplay between the "Occident" and the "Orient.
