The chapter delves into the historical context of colonialism, examining classical theorists' exclusion of non-white individuals from ideas of liberty. It critiques Saeed's views on colonialism and orientalism, questioning simplistic east versus west dichotomies and ideological assumptions. Additionally, the discussion expands to explore authorship, ideological constitution, and misreadings of Foucault and Said's works.
