Village Voice 'Arguably the most influential intellectual of our time.' The Guardian 'I've always been interested in what gets left out'. Edward Said 'However important nationalistic political activists are in the struggle against colonialism for self-determination, their historical roles, as such, are local and short lived. What distinguishes Said from all too many of these is his uncanny - and unwavering - ability to think the local (Palestinian) occasion on a global scale. That, to me, constitutes his lasting legacy.'

Synopsis
In one of his last interviews, Edward Said speaks with Tariq Ali about his dislocated existence, his initiation into politics, his involvement with the Palestinian cause, his approach to the study of culture, and his pervasive love of literature and music. Intimate, personal, thought-provoking, and absorbing, these conversations capture Said--as political activist, cultural historian, professor of literature, and music aficionado--and confirm his position as one of the most passionate and thoughtful intellectuals of our time., A provocative interview with Edward Said, one of the most famous and controversial intellectuals of the twentieth century, In these conversations with Tariq Ali, recorded in Edward Said's Riverside Drive apartment in New York in June 1994, about a decade before he finally lost his battle with cancer, Said brings his considerable intellect and deep personal engagement to bear on some of the most troubling and volatile issues of our time as he ranges back over his own dislocated existence, his initiation into politics, his involvement with the Palestine cause, his approach to the study of culture and his pervasive love of literature and music. Intimate, personal, thought-provoking and absorbing, these conversations capture Said as political activist, cultural historian, professor of literature and music aficionado -- and confirm his position as one of the most passionate and thoughtful intellections of our time.

    Made offer and received quick counteroffer from Catherine. We established a fair price and book was nicely packed and sent on its way. Was as described. Like all previous purchases from Midtown Scholar Bookstore, this was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend doing business with this firm! (Have lost count how many books I have purchased from this firm, but my opinion is based on numerous buys.)
