Orientalism - Edward Said

Edward Said started a project 'anti-Orientalism' in this book published in 1979.
Simply put, his project is a rejection of whatever written, told, taught about the non-Western culture/countries by Western scholars and writers.
'A rejection of Orientalism entails a rejection of biological generalizations, cultural constructions, and racial and religious prejudices.'

This is a very important, influential book but it is sad to say that after more than 20 years of its publication, not much has been changed as far as his project goes..
