ESSAY ON: Edward Said/Orientalism

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page essay that first of all discusses the major points of Said's text Orientalism, which argue that the Western interpretation of other cultures provided a necessary vocabulary for demonizing non-Europeans that served to rationalize European and American imperialism. In other words, Said proposes that the ways in which the West conceived the Orient, and in many ways still does, tells much more about the Western mindset than it does about the people who are the focus of Orientalism. The writer then discusses the rebuttal of Said's thesis offered by Keith Windschuttle. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
