Originally published in 1978, Said's groundbreakingbook offers a new conceptual framework forunderstanding the Western colonial exploitation of Asiaand the Middle East. "The Orient," he argues, is not a realplace but a Western idea created to justify the export ofWestern civilization. Said shows how European culturegained strength and identity by comparing itself to thismore primitive "opposite" and calls for the Wes includingpoliticians, academics and cultural institutions to account for their actions and assumptions.Orientalism has had a profound impact, prompting there-examination of beliefs about everything from globalpower dynamics and the legacies of colonialism toWestern political, economic, and cultural dominance.
