He traces this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West's romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. Drawing on his own experiences as an Arab Palestinian living in the West, Said examines how these ideas can be a reflection of European imperialism and racism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e'Beautifully patterned and passionately argued'\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eNew Statesman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Very exciting ... his case is not merely persuasive, but conclusive' \u003cbr\u003eJohn Leonard, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Times Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44098880405704,"sku":"TIMES-203-110924-PB","price":89.95,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1072\/4296\/files\/TintabudiShop-7_baef07d0-972d-4f30-afcf-a12e9644547e.png?v=1784275810","url":"https:\/\/tintabudi.com\/products\/orientalism-1","provider":"Tintabudi Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
