內容簡介

內容簡介 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. Essential, and still eye-opening, Orientalism remains one of the most important books written about our divided world.

各界推薦

各界推薦 本世紀的最後這十年中，影響美國的社會與人文學科領域最普遍與最深遠的－股思潮，毫無疑問是「後殖民主義」，而其影響，將持續地進入下一個世紀的西方學術與知識份子圈內，甚至向第三世界國家挺進，而使八○年代崛起的後現代主義思潮相形見絀。 本書作者薩依德則為此思潮公認的兩位「先知」之一薩依德特別稱許晚近許多阿拉伯與印度本土學者，開始突破西方之東方主義的框架，進行許多相當具有本土關懷與兼顧理論批判反省深度的研究。……盼台灣讀者在閱讀本書時，也能認真思考反省薩依德所提出來的許多「後殖民」的問題，為未來台灣邁向二十一世紀的發展，提供新思維。
