The Selected Works of Edward Said, 1966 – 2006

❍❍❍

Originally published as The Edward Said Reader, this is a new edition from Vintage with a preface by Maryam Said, Edward Said’s wife. It is a chunky book that has about 600 pages. The collection is selected from Said’s earliest works to his posthumously published works in 2006. Even though I have read several books by Said, reviewing this book gave me another angle to Edward Said’s great oeuvre. Said’s work had a long-lasting impact not only on a range of different academic discourses but on our current struggles for social justice. Although the publication of Orientalism can be traced as the point of origin for postcolonial discourse within the Western academy, there have been many other BIPoC postcolonial intellectuals prior to Said. From both the global south and transatlantic region, people such as Ibrahim Abu Lughod, Talal Asad, Aimé Césaire, and Frantz Fanon have contributed to the liberationist struggles of black, brown and indigenous peoples against the colonizers. And as we know, despite the invention of these theories, the European settlers have not left the colonized lands as the famous quote of Bobbi Sykes suggests: “What? Post-colonialism? Have they left?” (1)

Said’s background was in literary criticism. He taught English literature at Columbia University. He was also an accomplished piano player. At the end of his life, Said co-founded the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra with Daniel Barenboim. Together they also authored the book ”Parallels and Paradoxes: Explorations in Music and Society”, a collection of their conversations and public discussions about music. Aside from his academic career, Said was also active politically and was a member of the Palestinian National Council (PNC).

”The critical study of the politics of representation does not simply ask whether the subaltern as Gayatri Spivak famously explored, can speak, but what makes them sing.” (2)

(Selection from ‘Orientalism’ by Edward Said)

“England has to fulfill a double mission in India: one destructive, the other regenerating—the annihilation of the Asiatic society, and the laying of the material foundations of Western society in Asia.” -Karl Marx, Surveys from Exile, ed. David Fernbach (London: Pelican Books, 1973), pp. 306–7

ORIENTALISM AND ITS METHOD

The reason I connect with Said is because of his political genius, and his subtle criticism of Western left especially within the universities. After migrating to the United States and pursuing his studies, he realized that in order to open the conversation about Palestinian liberation and the struggle for self-determination, he has to undo multiple levels of complexity. The first Gordian knot that needed to be untied was the problem of representation. The Middle East similar to the rest of Asia and Africa has been interpreted and represented to the Western audiences by European Orientalists. These academics and scholars perpetuated the pre-established system of domination. The discourse of Oriental studies (which some European countries such as Finland still have) helped pave the way for representing the East to the Western population through a process of racialization. Orientalism itself as an academic discourse became attainable by the military domination over the East. As Said argues on page 74 of the book, “...Orientalism is more particularly valuable as a sign of European-Atlantic power over the Orient than it is as a veridic discourse about the Orient (which is what, in its academic or scholarly form, it claims to be). (2)

Said brought out some uncomfortable topics for the white left inside and outside universities. Certain conversations regarding culture, race, individuality, and representation was considered nothing more than divisive by the established faculty. Suddenly, the middle-class white hippies in the universities had to fight their own whiteness alongside their forefathers’ business model, conservatism or Christianity. The repetitive conversations about capitalism by white folks got complicated considering the relationship between culture and colonial expansion. Part of Said’s work was to expose the overlapping connection between the history of European Anti-Semitism and postcolonial history.

Prior to the publication of Orientalism, the claim that “…every European, in what he could say about the Orient, was consequently a racist, an imperialist, and almost totally ethnocentric”, was something close to fiction. (1) White Leftists (in most cases men) would freely talk about the East with (or without) academic expertise and subsequently represent and translate the East to the Western world.

“Orientalism” and “Culture and imperialism” clarified that European imperialism created a situation where European scientists, artists, missionaries, soldiers, and traders became part of the same system despite their differences. Said talks about the colonial figures who advanced the racialization and subjugation of colonized peoples. Some of these figures are Jewish Zionists, and some are European artists, politicians, and settlers who uphold the colonial projects.

There is a huge list of Orientalist figures which Said brought to light and investigated in his works. The bibliography of Orientalism is digitalized on Goodreads. I cherry-picked one of these racist colonial writings in order to give an example of the type of research Said was digging up.

Here is Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt-Drake:

"The fear of the fellahin (Middle eastern agricultural laborer) that we have secret designs of re-conquering the country is a fruitful source of difficulty. This got over, remains the crass stupidity which cannot give a direct answer to a simple question, the exact object of which it does not understand; for why should a Frank wish to know the name of an insignificant wady or hill in their land?" The fellahin are all in the worst type of humanity that I have come across in the east...The fellah is totally destitute of all moral sense..." (2)

(Thomas Tyrwhitt-Drake, 1845, painted by William Barraud (1810–1850), source: Artnet)

“PALESTINE AND POLITICS OF MIDDLE EAST”

Aside from theoretical concepts we also learn a lot about the history of ethnic cleansing and atrocities that has been inflicted on the Middle East and in particular to Palestinians. We also come across many existential events such as the battle of Karameh in 1968, or the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps massacre in Lebanon which resulted in 2,062 deaths, or the events of 1948 where United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 called for the partition of Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state. On page 34 of the book, after dismissing the passive idea that the colonialism of Palestine has resulted from a conflictual tragedy between two cultures/religions, Said goes to detail in explaining why the international left didn’t have much to offer Palestinians in 1967.

In an amazing 1970 Life magazine interview with the PFLP's George Habash by Oriana Fallaci, Habash admits explicitly that he is targeting Jews, not Israelis or Zionists.

Here is how he justified airplane hijackings in Europe:

Countries like Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland, with many Jews among their population, allow their territory to be used as a base for the Jews to fight the Arabs. If Italy, for instance, is a base against the Arabs, the Arabs have a right to use Italy as a base against the Jews.

Fallaci, a real reporter, responded back with, "No, Dr. Habash, Italy is not used as a Jewish base, nor is Germany, France or Switzerland. "

Habash later on was even more explicit about the PFLP's targets:

The attacks of the Popular Front are based on quality, not quantity. We believe that to kill a Jew far from the battleground has more of an effect than killing 100 of them in battle; it attracts more attention. And when we set fire to a store in London, those few flames are worth the burning down of two kibbutzim.

In 1991, Jamal Nassar—currently a professor of political science, and dean emeritus, at Cal State-San Bernardino - wrote a book about the PLO where he changed the above quote to "To kill a Zionist far from the battleground has more of an effect than killing 100 of them in battle. "

Steven Lubet, a professor of law at Northwestern University, noticed this discrepancy and wrote to Nassar asking him why he changed the quote. His absurd answer:

I remember specifically discussing this issue with the late Professor Ibrahim Abu-Lughod who was a renowned expert on Palestinian affairs, a member of the Palestine National Council and former Chair of Political Science at Northwestern University. He told me that he posed the same question to Dr. George Habash who responded that everyone knows what he means, that is his use of the word Jews in that context refers to the Zionists who colonized the Palestinian homeland and those zionists (sic) in the Western World who finance and support that colonization. As such, the change of the word in the quotation was grounded in the intent of Dr. Habash. However, you are correct to point out such a change. I should have included an explanation in the reference.

An academic knowingly changed an explicitly antisemitic quote by a terrorist pioneer to make it appear only "anti-Zionist." But he didn't mention in his book that he modified the direct quote, and he lamely says that he should have explained his whitewashing in the book - which he never would have done in reality because it would have only called attention to his fabrication.

In other words, Nassar knew quite well that he was modifying a quote but he felt that it was all for the greater good and that he "knew" that when Habash said he wanted to target Jews in Europe he really was going to research his victims ahead of time to ensure that they support Israel.

His assertion that "everyone knows" Habash was not antisemitic is a lie as well. Even the Electronic Intifada admits in a glowing obituary that Habash bombed a synagogue when he was younger and says he was originally "anti-Jewish" although it claims, without proof, that his attitude towards Jews changed later.

Interestingly, the PFLP protested Fallaci's quote of Habash's antisemitism at the time, claiming that she fabricated it and he really said "Zionists." She responded sarcastically that "the so-called Department of Information ignores the existence of a machine known as a tape recorder” where she recorded the entire interview proving that Habash knew quite well that he was speaking about Jews into a microphone.
