A Palestinian American born in Mandatory Palestine, he was a citizen of the United States by way of his father, a U.S. Army veteran. He influenced by Michel foucault, Karl Marx, William Shakespeare, Frantz fanon etc. As a cultural critic, Said is known for the book Orientalism (1978), a critique of the cultural representations that are the bases of Orientalism—how the Western world perceives the Orient.As a public intellectual, Said was a controversial member of the Palestinian National Council, because he publicly criticized Israel and the Arab countries, especially the political and cultural policies of Muslim régimes who acted against the national interests of their peoples.
∆ What is Orientalism?

In art history, literature and cultural studies, Orientalism is the imitation or depiction of aspects in the Eastern world. These depictions are usually done by writers, designers, and artists from the West.
Definition by Edward said :-
- Said's orientalism can be a critical tool to examine the validity of all the literature on the East written by the wester. Influenced by the imperialism and colonialism of the 19th century.
• Orientalism means the study of far and near Eastern societies and cultures, languages and peoples by western scholars.
• Orientalism by Edward said is a important text of cultural studies in which he challenges the concept of Orientalism or the difference between east and west.
This entire book on America and Arabic world. It says how to read postcolonialism. Orientalism asks, how do we come to understand people, strangers, who look different to us by virtue of the colour of their skin?
• The central argument of Orientalism is that the way we acquire this knowledge is not innocent or objective but the end result of a process that reflects certain interests. Orientalism and Empire shows what is difference between british and french colonialism . Arabs have participated and continue to allow themselves to be represented as oriental's in this orientalist way.
