An angry but fundamental book for entering the world of the Middle East, which leaves no room for traditional European ideas about the region. An American of Arab origin, Edward Wadi Said, lived between two worlds and therefore was able to see how ideas about the culture and history of Islam were distorted in the political consciousness of Western civilization. "Orientalism" tells how a culture of domination and the myth of a deserted East, incapable of development, were created. Said's work radically changes the lens of viewing a situation that is mired in a vicious circle of hatred and violence.
