S1E24: Orientalism (1): Introduction (Part 1, Pages 1-4)

Reading Orientalism: Introduction (Part 1)| Edward Said | Postcolonialism (Pages 1-4) This is first in my series of videos on Edward Said's 'Orientalism."  Said's "Orientalism," is one of the most significant books in postcolonial, literary and other fields of humanistic and social sciences studies. If you have ever wondered "What is orientalism" or how does Edward Said employ and explain orientalism as a concept then this series on actually reading Orientalism can be of much use to you. The page numbers that I refer to are from the 1994 Vintage Books edition. I strongly recommend that you should read the book along with these video conversations: In so many ways Edward Said can be considered the founder of postcolonialism and he certainly has had a huge influence on postcolonial theory and postcolonial studies.
