her own philosophy and colonialism. and this led to the publication of his most influential book orientalism in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight a work often considered to have forced westerners to reexamine their perceptions of the islamic world. this book grew in ways i hadn't foreseen and then suddenly became something much more it became the whole history of the representation of the other. i think it was one of the first books to try to do that. the book wasn't just a scholarly thing but also explained clichés i had been used to govern the colonial state. road the book was very original innovative and perceptive an acute

study of the way in which the the others the east is used to is the you or adult countries were depicted interpreted and understood in the scullery literature of the west reviewed a lot of the but also in the general culture but what it did was open it open minds to a willingness among many people at least to consider their own biases. predilections a. tacit beliefs and esca whether these were distorting and modifying or interpretation of other cultures and would say that and based on them the story might if it were happening to him with the pope feeling it's got a machine that it would throw. in the hundred feet. i would

well in orientalism i mean he he thought of that from the start and i think that after that i mean it became as a study in itself in the united states after he wrote that book. saeed's influential writing around him almost superstar status in some u.s. academic circles and he was a leading figure in a group of elite intellectual palestinian americans that began to emerge in the mid seventy's and eighty's. their aim of creating a new image of the palestinians in the american mind provoked huge has to lety in pro israeli new york especially as saeed continued to attack israeli violations of human rights of palestinians and condemned u.s. policy on the middle east. prominent palestinians came under attack from both sides from the far right jewish defense league of the j d l and from other muslims ismael

it was an american palestinian writer and academic whose influential nine hundred

seventy eight book orientalism challenge to western preconceptions about arabs and the arab world. born in jerusalem in the one nine hundred thirty s. he later became one of the most prominent champions of the palestinian cause in the west making him a controversial figure in the arab israeli conflict. although he only spent early childhood years in the middle east he nonetheless experienced a strong sense of displacement throughout his life and career in america expressed most articulately in his nine hundred ninety nine memoir out of place as an outspoken critic of israel in the u.s. he suffered verbal and physical attacks at work i had to deal with kinds of terrible events this very often he was there were people who tried to

break again to us off this is one reason why your notice at the door it's a very heavy door there's a reason for that not all the officers. in philosophy hall have that kind of go and the reason you might have noticed. it was because they tried to break into his office so it's all connected to the professor of terror you know it came out of that terrible ugly moment. saeed found himself increasingly absorbed by east west cultural studies as well as palestine and the arab israeli conflict. this was expressed in his published writing. he was born into a christian family in west jerusalem though he was not a religious man but this did not stop him arguing strongly in covering islam that the western media distorts the image of islam. in the question of palestine in one

thousand nine hundred seventy nine he traced the clash between two middle eastern peoples followed by his first book on structuralist literary critical theory here is text the book called the world the text and the critique remains as singular achievement of his literary. now after the publication of orientalism and soon after orientalism cultural imperialism that those two books became so important in the field of course growing on the studies that they overshadow his military work but the fact is that increasingly if you go from one university to another in u.s. europe the arab world etc you will see that the significance of his need to really work is increasingly coming to the surface and in fact i would even venture to say without understanding his literary disposition his preoccupation with the question of my nieces we cannot understand orientalism and. harboring islam and so who are

the two aspects of in scholarship are interrelated man if we show you he facility with them with the heavy metal. model of steve biko can you acquire cilla we had come in who are cool muchmore in. the center are of little mach one and because of mr mallock at the well maliki was with adverts aid can be a method to just skimmin him in the name of the force of the other than ever the man is the first one is that a minister in bill who would think oh let the stock part and to develop the gasoline are to many asian who were let me let me on my last one for what was rumored to be. really good most would have been the bill mccollum will assist with setting the so we are there are certain i will call and ye will be enough. for kin who is our wanted there to be what can yet free them as well as a used car had better tiled for

a livin and it can have been this one you might think. not the little pursuing. one of so he does most read ses who is called reflections on exile in and he explores the relationship between his. own exile and that of palestinians. he sees exile as a state of mind as much as a physical reality a psychological condition shared by those rejecting regional and local ties including their native country. saeed's exile meant putting distance between him and his cultural identity and he decided that it could ultimately be a valuable human condition. exile in the words of wallace stevens is a mind of winter in which the paths of summer and autumn as much as the potential

of spring are nearby but unobtainable. exile is the and healable rift force between a human being and a native place between the self and its true home. the essential sadness of the break can never be surmount. the achievements of any exile are permanently undermined by his or her sense of loss. for a local community. or hate the who can live you have to got that listed among our. circle of light every year will our let me of some of it in c. but alameda shot out. of it in sydney for the student to see it has

in one thousand nine hundred seventy seven saeed who is elected to the palestinian national council as an independent the p.m.c. is the legislative body of the palestine liberation organization the p.l.o. a kind of parliament representing all palestinians in the occupied territories and elsewhere. he tried to avoid factional infighting making what he felt were strategic interventions what it meant. what it meant sharper not obey you when. they are you know i'm about we're not about not. at a meeting of the p.m.c. in algiers in november one thousand nine hundred ninety eight p.l.o. chairman yasser arafat made the palestinian declaration of independence it had been written by the palestinian poet and author mahmoud darwish but edward saeed had also had a prominent role in drafting the declaration proclaimed the establishment of the

state of palestine effectively the two state solution. he was that he was very close to a part of the person in the national council and he was also very critical of many of their positions he was for independent minded. no canada idea and then yes that there was sort of a lemon yet it can last that on our side and the home of a set out of five. well i can now get married. son son and. up plan for what. he had the. hell a sad home. i. guess that they are. and the whole.

stuff is. in one hundred ninety one edward so you'd was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia he had to undergo extensive chemotherapy and for his illness for the next twelve years. the suffering he experienced forced him to go back to his childhood and really evaluate his past he began work on the revealing biography who was our life out of place. by the time i began treatment in march one thousand nine hundred four i realized that i had at least entered if not the final phase of my life then the period back item in the garden. and main one thousand nine hundred four i began work on this book these details are important as a way of explaining to myself and to my reader how the time of this book is

intimately tied to the time phases ups and downs variations in my illness. lemme. know at the end if what if and. and mara can it sub mccleary l.-o. and lock in a while i don't care about the lay up get our house a house in single. bottle and. be a while. well i can carry a sock or other now at kilwa that they're now blah no doubt diagnosis of leukemia was extremely important at what size psychological intellectual disposition suddenly without expectation he faced his mortality but as he said in an interview all it took was just one

picture of ariel sharon to send him back to his. moral courageous imagination he never buckled down at the face of death saeed's illness brought feelings of loss flooding back to him he later described it as attempting to return to bits of life or people who were no longer there he wrote about trying to find a place to die. in one thousand nine hundred two he went back to west to use it to tell be a neighborhood when he was born he reportedly walked the streets searching for his family's old homes where he'd spent his early years and which he'd left forty five years before. but the story goes that when he found he was simply unable to ask the owners if he could look inside. i could not meet lost face

to face. i stood by the door like a beggar. how could i ask permission from strangers sleeping in my own bed ask them if i could visit myself for five minutes should i bow in respect to the residents of my childish dream would they are ask who is that prying foreign visitor. what headlines already. been this way i know can't hear what said. let my wife have a little better at it from the way. i did a photo album while i've been here when us have been back and i feel a bit aesthetic.

and at the heart. edward saeed worked hard in the us media to explain how the nine hundred eighty eight palestine declaration was in fact a compromise and this pave the way for the nine hundred ninety one madrid conference and then the signing of the oslo accords on the white house lawn in september nine hundred ninety three by yasser arafat going to be a mahmoud abbas. but saeed had become increasingly critical of the way the negotiations were heading and had resigned from the pm and seen in the nine hundred ninety one. he considered the oslo agreement to be unfair and far too heavily weighted in favor of israel and they demanded he said to a palestinian surrender. it was a complete chance i was outraged by the document. these rarely government letter to

the p.l.o. was one and i have lines in which it says the government of israel recognizes that the p.l.o. is the representative of palestinian people. the palestinian letter was a page and a half long single spaced apologizing for terrorists saying that we've taken back this we're not going to do this again we recognize israel the right to live in peace recognized all this stuff dealing with a state that until today still hasn't declared its international borders. our return to gaza for the first time was about to go to gaza. it would rage at him when i was speaking to reset this man he he cars are also agreement he takes no maps with him he takes no lawyers with him in the israeli government or not with all the lawyers and this man has never seen a jewish settlement in the west bank and gaza and he thinks he can negotiate you

know and i think it was right arafat's got taken for right to left for the ac man one of the men my measures the rotten ink on my life they had here. about that i'm delighted to sign. up kind of hard to. develop the overheated mother that subject. the c.s.o. the hand of the c.s.c. by name and i think. that zero sum of the full icelandic theorem and the two that number of c. a c. and this really the. side of the. bell when the sabbath or the sting in them so who then we had at the. it was aid can and the macand i have hammock you feel what the. little of the look of the full city hello eilidh though that then. the it were head out again floats

in the. kenya the color been had and will again i thought that the no made a but would not now though there were. again and again jani you me i lay in the yam in norman i'm not going to do an hour should not but we are a for coffee and i were makin under a mosquito but the had just like this and you got to have but i had to a for but was for on the question is for any and i seen the main it's rainy my most of the units are in. and they're getting most that if you know ms i speed of then on these days you know as the america i meant come a but it will have been no yesterday best to have me. and let's say that the north and norm that is the busiest in mumbai that circle to see and gimmick to get a bit more kenyan i'm a diety the vehicle in this gin was that be found where most forcefully on your side is any with up to a sort of full sunni i think edward was reaching a stage of frustration that he was beginning to think there would never be a promised. you can it is very late so writing as if you had two men on

a run for example and some of his essays it comes across very clearly that while he's in one part of his mind he's still stating the absolute injustice of what happens the palestinians and the need for a palestinian state any palestinian state but i think he was beginning to realize that the extent of jewish settlements colonies on arab land the theft of arab land for settlements and colonies for jews and jews only had reached the stage where he couldn't really see that being a palestinian state a real i mean it would be but his has its own security which has its right to the land which you know cannot be overflowed by anyone else unless permission i think he began to realize that this was becoming less and less realistic. saeed continued to care deeply about the impact of nine eleven and the two thousand and three iraq war but as his health declined he stepped out of the political spotlight. music had always been a passion but now it became the main focus of his life. good

with books like musical elaborations on late style and with the argentine israeli conductor daniel barenboim parallels and paradoxes. in one thousand nine hundred ninety the two founded the west eastern divine orchestra bringing together young arab and israeli musicians. and what can most or fame men can have if yeah but then my possible and that. can now. can you see. that now let me shatter boy oh sure watch that at the bank all. misch should be of subtle. bit re after the

awoken i don't want to have a look at it and i'm not the loveland of since. during the two palestinian uprising it's called into father's stone throwing became something of a symbol of the revolt. in july two thousand after the israeli withdrawal from south lebanon saeed visited the former crossing fatima gate on the lebanon israeli border. there he famously threw a stone towards the disputed border and was predictably again the professor of terror. it was side we're honored to walk on the same walk walkway that you walk or throw any stone that you you thought it was a symbolic move had nothing to do with anything they have changed the meaning try to change the meaning of intifada which has to do with violence has nothing to do with violence in the problem is a palestinian with stands up and says i'm

a palestinian that's on top of a palestinian who. goes to suffer that's an interpreter a palestinian when it's most often that's an interview. it's all of the father means resistance to occupation and theft of your home that's what intifada means throwing a stone from across a border is a meaningless symbolic act that has nothing to do with terrorism is expressing the fact that israel was repeatedly invading lebanon devastating southern lebanon bombing beirut over and over and this was a act of symbolic. resentment in opposition to this to these constant attacks professor of terrorism is an interesting phrase has to do with with the term terrorism is used in the united states the terrorism has a very narrow meaning in u.s.

discourse it refers to the allegedly terrorist acts of others but not of our selves and our laws. edward saeed died on the twenty fifth of september two thousand and three. he'd had a huge professional impact particularly on the way cultures are examined described and defined. he tied a major political impact in the middle east through his work in the p. and c. and in the west as a high profile champion of the palestinian cause. his writing has been translated into twenty six languages. his last wish was to be buried in lebanon on the birthplace of his mother to be as close as possible to palestine the place he'd felt exiled from all his life that had caused him to live and die

out of place. he said if i die before you my will is the impossible. i asked is the impossible far off he said a generation away. i asked and if i die before you. he said i shall pay my condolences to mount galilee. when back in. like the end. at some point in you realize you started to go backwards. inspirational stories
