Waiting for the Barbarians: A Tribute to Edward W. Said
by Müge G. Sökmen and Başak Ertür (Eds.)
Description
In engaging with the richly varied and seminal scholarship of Edward W. Said, Waiting for the Barbarians aims to recover the notion of culture as a collective, hybrid and plural experience, in light of the political imperative that rules our present. Bringing together some of the figures most closely associated with Said and his scholarship, this comprehensive volume looks at Said the literary critic and public intellectual, Palestine, and Said's intellectual legacy: the future through the lens of his work.
Contributors include Mariam Said, Timothy Brennan, Rashid Khalidi, Elias Khoury, Saree Makdisi, Mahmood Mamdani, Joseph Massad, Karma Nabulsi, Ilan Pappé, Jacqueline Rose, Raja Shehadeh, Fawwaz Traboulsi, and Gauri Viswanathan.
