A review by thecolourblue
Culture and Imperialism by Edward W. Said
challenging
informative
slow-paced
3.75
Said's writing is dense and academic (this book took me literal months to read), but it's highly informative and contains valuable insights about the impact and influence of imperialism on a number of famous works of 'great Western literature' (i.e. Kipling, Camus, etc). Said writes passionately about this topic, as well as about the work of several other anti-imperialist theorists, most significantly Fanon.
I will definitely return to this book as a reference text while reading some of the other works discussed within it.
