This landmark book, first published in 1978, remains one of the most influential books in the Social Sciences, particularly Ethnic Studies and Postcolonialism. Said is best known for describing and critiquing "Orientalism", which he perceived as a constellation of false assumptions underlying Western attitudes toward the East. In Orientalism Said claimed a "subtle and persistent Eurocentric prejudice against Arabo-Islamic peoples and their culture." He argued that a long tradition of false and romanticized images of Asia and the Middle East in Western culture had served as an implicit justification for Europe and the US' colonial and imperial ambitions. Just as fiercely, he denounced the practice of Arab elites who internalized the US and British orientalists' ideas of Arabic culture. Peter Ganim's narration gives the work an elegant and knowledgable voice.

Excellent work, A must read book in its field. It is particularly enjoyable that it is read by my favourite reader Peter Ganim

Excellent

Sorry but there are many passages of French in chapter 3, some of them quite long — and Altho I can speak some French I could not understand everything. Such passages are almost always translated to the corresponding book language so why not these? Even if Said’s original book didn’t translate them. The audiobook could have since it’s harder to understand by listening than reading. Very frustrating.

Why no French translations?
