Edward Wadie Said (إدوارد سعيد) (November 1, 1935 – September 24, 2003) was a well-known literary theorist, critic and outspoken Palestinian activist. According to Columbia News (Columbia University), he was "one of the most influential scholars in the world," and "was undoubtedly one of the greatest minds of the 20th century."
Said was born in Jerusalem (then in the British Mandate of Palestine) and raised in both Jerusalem and Cairo, Egypt. Until age 12, he lived between Cairo and West Jerusalem where he attended the Anglican St. Georges Academy in 1947.
His family became refugees in 1948 just prior to the capture of West Jerusalem by Israeli forces.
At age 14, Said entered Victoria College in Cairo, and then Mount Hermon School in the United States. He received his B.A. from Princeton University and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Harvard University.
He joined the faculty of Columbia University in 1963 and served as professor of English and Comparative Literature for several decades.
Said also taught at Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Yale universities. He spoke English and French fluently, excellent colloquial and very good standard Arabic, and was literate in Spanish, German, Italian and Latin.
Said was bestowed numerous honorary doctorates from universities around the world and twice received Columbia's Trilling Award and the Wellek Prize of the American Comparative Literature Association.
Edward Said died at the age of 67 in New York after a long battle with chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Said is best known for describing and critiquing "Orientalism"; what he perceived as a constellation of false assumptions underlying Western attitudes toward the East.
In Orientalism (1978), Said decried the "subtle and persistent Eurocentric prejudice against Arabo-Islamic peoples and their culture". [1] 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's and America's colonial and imperial ambitions.
Critiquing Said, Christopher Hitchens, who writes for Vanity Fair, wrote that he denied any possibility "that direct Western engagement in the region is legitimate" and that Said's analysis cast "every instance of European curiosity about the East [as] part of a grand design to exploit and remake what Westerners saw as a passive, rich, but ultimately contemptible 'Oriental' sphere". [2]
The British historian Bernard Lewis is another important critic who took issue with Said's work. The two authors exchanged a famous polemic in the pages of the New York Review of Books following the publication of Orientalism. Lewis' article, "The question of orientalism" was followed in the next issue by "Orientalism: an exchange".

用戶評價
Some distinctive objects are made by the mind,and these objects,while appearing to exist objectively,have only a fictional reality.東方永遠隻是歐洲人眼中的東方，而歐洲人的“東方”概念架構竟也隨著殖民擴張漸漸內化到我們的無意識裏，直至今天我們依然根深蒂固的認為我們所在的這片土地是東方。
评分所以其核心在於，所謂“東方”的概念，不過是西方權力利用知識話語構建的一套真理體係，最終以達到其殖民地目的。
评分薩義德忽略的一個部分在於“歐洲”=“曆史進程中的主體和現代”不隻是歐洲人的建構，也是第三世界的建構。不對稱權力雙方對權力結構的固化有同樣的貢獻。就像性彆歧視不是男性對女性的壓迫而是全性彆共同促成的不平等一樣，認為歐洲中心主義的主體隻有歐洲事實上也是歐洲中心主義的一種錶現。
评分天纔！隻是因為背景知識缺乏，以及不習慣這樣的寫書風格，感覺有些難讀。
评分研究生第一年讀到這本書時覺得世界觀被刷新瞭。
