BRILLIANCE! SCINTILLATING BRILLIANCE! Edward Said was a gift to us. All communities and all persons on the face of this earth (no matter the size, minorities and majorities alike) must learn from this great man, lest it is perpetual folly they desire; confined and imprisoned in constructed realities, for people in every community strive to be more superior than every other - every culture, every race, every ethnicity, every tradition, every rite, every ritual (as Nehru once pointed out) Edward Said is urging you to liberate yourself, and thus liberate every human being from this perpetual illusion we often fail to see as a vicious cycle, a mental deformity, a sickness of the soul. What a beautiful man, and what a brilliant mind! My favourite thinker, intellectual, humanitarian, scholar, author, and person from the 20th century. I miss you, Edward.
Brilliant ! What he says and how he explains the massively detrimental effect of Orientalism and Western Chauvanism. However, little or never he spoke of similar inequalities and unfair practices which exist within each region of the vast Orient .. be it Iran or India or Far East etc etc.
