  • "The extraordinary reach of Western imperialism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is one of the most astonishing facts in all of geopolitical history. Neither Rome, nor Byzantium, nor Spain at the height of its glory came close to the imperial scope of France, the United States, and particularly Great Britain in these years. But while the rule of these vast dominions left scarcely a corner of life untouched in either the colonies or the imperialist capitals, its profound influence upon the cultural products of the West has been largely ignored. In this dazzling work of historical inquiry, Edward Said shows how the justification for empire-building was inescapably embedded in the Western cultural imagination during the Age of Empire, and how even today the imperial legacy colors relations between the West and the formerly colonized world at every level of political, ideological, and social practice."@en

  • "Cultuurhistorisch onderzoek naar de invloed van het westerse imperialisme op westerse romans en van de dekolonisatie op niet-westerse romans."
  • "Culture and Imperialism focuses on how power and ideology work, both consciously and unconsciously, to form and maintain a system of domination that goes beyond military force. Taking up narratives brought back by Westerners from the colonized world, Said examines the language, images, and symbols therein to show how their formative, rather than simply expressive, nature has worked to shape the identity, imagination, subjectivities, history, culture, and interactions of the oppressor and the oppressed. He contends that such images have historically shaped how the West has negatively conceptualized the "other," justifying its obligation to rule. Moving from the development of the empire to global struggles for indigenous freedom, Said cogently reveals the separatist nature of nationalism and attempts to illuminate the possibilities of global community. The critique, insights, and outlook found in Culture and Imperialism are certainly timely in the United States, where nationalism and Western "common cultural values" continue to be woven into the political rhetoric and the very fabric of public education in which mainstream students are taught to celebrate the uniqueness of their tradition at the expense of others. This book is of major importance to any educator who wishes to rupture this country's imperialistic practices and explore the possibilities of a pedagogy and politics of difference.

  • "Said feels that imperialism, often thought of as a European phenomenon of the past, continues today in new shapes and forms. Culture provides the underpinning, justification and validation of empire."
