‘Readers accustomed to the precision and elegance of Edward Said''s analytical prowess will not be disappointed . . . Those discovering Said for the first time will be profoundly impressed’ Toni Morrison

Following his profoundly influential study Orientalism, Edward W. Said turned his attention to the Western world, tracing the connections between imperialism and European art, literature and music. From Jane Austen to Salman Rushdie, from Yeats to media coverage of the Gulf War, Culture and Imperialism initiates a dialogue between culture and the political and economic fabric of its time. Vast in its scope and stunning in its erudition, this collection of essays remains as urgent today as it was on first publication.

A Cultura ocidental como justificação do Imperialismo

Tiago Pinto

Culture and Imperialism examina como a literatura e a cultura ocidentais foram usadas para justificar e perpetuar o Imperialismo. Said explora autores como Jane Austen e Rudyard Kipling, mostrando como as suas obras refletem as atitudes coloniais da época e influenciam as percepções culturais e políticas. O imperialismo, de acordo com o autor, moldou não só políticas, mas também narrativas culturais. Said argumenta ainda sobre a relação entre cultura e poder no passado da literatura, mas também no presente, e em como esta relação influencia e condiciona uma visão social realtivamente positiva do imperialismo.
