really have us mckenna have gained their money how has. the young woodward learned the piano and his love of music gave him an escape both from family and from school he was an intelligent pupil but sometimes misbehaved. edward grew up playing and listening to our room and western classical music recordings on the gramophone of the great composers and finest performers. will say after a little. laugh. and say i have a collie. will effect your name on sour. well last seven games. like other palestinians of his generation edward saeed became

a living example of exile his early life in egypt coincided with the tumultuous events in the middle east of the one nine hundred forty s. . when in one thousand nine hundred forty eight the british left palestine and the new state of israel was found hundreds of thousands of palestinians were forced from their homes and homeland. the twelve year old edward in cairo didn't yet know how are not the catastrophe would later influences life and career . what overcomes me now is the scale of dislocation our family and friends experienced and of which i was scarcely conscious essentially unknowing witness in one nine hundred forty eight. it was through aren't near me that i first experience palestine as history and

cause. it was also she who communicated to me the desolation of being without a country or a place to return to. but i couldn't really comprehend the tragedy that had befallen them nor could i piece together all the different narrative fragments to understand what had really happened in palestine. the palestinian cause was always deep seeded and edwards intellectual emotional or. physical life. and what made him such an extraordinary scholar an intellectual was that he was always connecting different aspects of his life he never compartmentalize to know that many academics for you know the the private the

personal one aspect of their life and the intellectual the professional is another aspect where there were there was an integration of all aspects of of of of being. after nine hundred forty eight saeed family couldn't go back from cairo to jerusalem western loosen them had become almost entirely israeli but edwards didn't stay in egypt long he was expelled from school and sent to the east coast of america to boarding school. his first year in massachusetts stirred contradictory feelings in the fifteen year old of low self esteem alienation but also liberation. new york's tremendous scale toweringly silent anonymous buildings reduced one to an inconsequential item making me question what i was to all this. my totally

unimportant existence giving me an eerie but momentary sense of liberation for the first time in my life elusively almost imperceptibly palestine would appear and then quickly disappear in our new york lives. that america can. only believe. that one had my love for my year. well you can say if. the teenager who attended the elite northfield moment home school he found it tough to go top grades and entry to princeton university in new jersey where he got his

bachelor's degree. he then won a scholarship to harvard university where he spent five years and got his master's and ph d. in english literature in one thousand nine hundred sixty three. and . after harvard dr edward saeed joined columbia university in new york city as

a member of the faculty of english and comparative literature he stayed until his death in two thousand and three. columbia is one of the top eight ivy league universities in the u.s. where many leading politicians economists and public figures have graduated. columbia also helped to launch. into the refined world of academia and literary criticism. no not yet as a middle east specialist in the west or public supporter of the palestinian calls. this day a place where i'm sitting right now used to be edward sage office his secretary used to sit in one of the rooms you know down this down this hall and the room that you see here almost everything is as it was where when he was here

you know the the book of this book this glass bookcase this desk was edward said that chair was edwards and this was theirs or an office with a lot of history. saeed's endeavor might have remained purely literary and his connection with the arab world simply a family one had it not been for events in the middle east in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven. between the fifth and the tenth of june israel fault and defeated the combined on of egypt syria and jordan. the nine hundred sixty seven war changed the month of the middle east and still hampers the peace process today but it also had a profound effect consigned. to the year one nine hundred sixty seven was a devastating year for me and everything i had grown up with i was in america by

that time i was alone being in new york there was a sense of triumphalism which appeared for the first time in one amongst the jewish but among everybody where you would walk down the street and people would say how are we doing and it was always understood that was israel you know little state about to be overwhelmed by winning this tremendous victory. i was no longer the same person after nine hundred sixty seven the shock of that war drove me back to where it had all started the struggle over palestine. the p.l.o. was formed in the mid sixty's and began to be a represent recognized as representative of the post and in cause after the sixty seven war and for the attitudes changed enormously u.s. policy changed that if you take a look at the media coverage there's a spike in the one nine hundred sixty seven which remained very covered with israel

is higher than almost any other country since that and this became a leading issue in american political life internationally as well in the advert was of course of that and it is quite true as you said that his direct engagement and involvement in the issue really traces nine hundred sixty seven bad service at the end and that after they were bought up at this house at the in some brain. than they did then there's had left a hole then imagine while women who had for less than a i love them then my gun i had done. i did them a second to my fellow man and. i will stop to live in the hope of the author not the lapwing who i mean of course allowed them as lesser men up. they do in eighty so i would have had the. coverage and the hoodie that musa had one of course is that months and i and walk on from the scene they have that.

saeed's preoccupation with the arab world began to manifest itself in his academic work literary criticism and polemical writing. he began studying the cultural portrayal of arab peoples and places and writing in the visual arts and media. he explored the relationship between the enlightenment which underpinned much of western high culture and philosophy and colonialism. 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 what say that and put it on them as though it might if it were happening to him with the pope cleaning it's gotten a sheen it would throw it a hundred feet. labrador assisting items that would be delusion we be it is shock or be with the team while we were both at our shop. while mine had a deal of this in a bottle at about that he has that he has that he has in a month only to give. a little about said that a philistine e c for pleasure that men minute that was sort of people couldn't

decipher what he did. in showing how the western misled itself in its literature its novels. was the first time we saw a western speaking intellectual that it passed in it who tried to show us the folly of oriental if paintings oriental if that richer the arabs always had to be represented as his aging rather sullen lifeless people who obviously needed western help to raise them to the heights of civilization and edward got love across very well in orientalism i mean he he thought of that from the start and i think that after that i mean it became. 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 in specially 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 as mel photokina of temple university in philadelphia and his wife were stabbed to death at their home by a black muslim. edward saeed himself was attacked his office at columbia was torched and a right wing jewish magazine dubbed him the professor of terror a label that followed him for the rest of his life.

marston's as a person so the ship will only be cancelled when the government to satisfy that they can legally live elsewhere the changes will also impose new restrictions on the return of foreign fighters well those are the headlines out of their world continues next. to who is an american palestinian writer and academic whose influential nine hundred seventy eight 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 none the less experienced

a strong sense of displacement throughout his life and career in america expressed most articulately in his nine hundred ninety nine memoir of place as an outspoken critic of israel in the u.s. he suffered verbal and physical attacks. edward had to deal with all kinds of terrible events this very office he was there were people who tried to break in to us off and 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 offices in philosophy hall have that kind of go in the reason you might have noticed every boat 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 so he was not a religious man but this did not stop him arguing strongly in covering islam that the western media distorted the image of islam. in the question of palestine in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine he traced the clash between two middle eastern people followed by his first book on structuralist literary critical theory here texts the book called the world the text and they pretty remain single achievement of his literary signal. 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 when two aspects of the scholarship are interrelated the man if we show you his facility with the heavy metal. madoff steve biko can acquire cilla if he had come in who are cool muchmore in. what he was that is central awful a mock when because of mr mallock at the realm eric was would adverts aid the method just skimmin him in the name of him as of the fall for the other than ever

the man is the first one is that a minister in bill who would fickle let the stock part and to the. gas an article many years and who were let me let me can run for it was rude to be. really good most would have been about the current will assist with setting the so we you but there are certain i will call and ye will be enough. for again who is our wanted there to be what can yet free in other words they use gotta have that there are bad for a livin and it can have been this one you might think say not be a good 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 path of summer and autumn as much as the potential of spring are nearby but on obtainable. 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 surmounted. the achievements of any exile are permanently undermined by his or her sense of loss.

record commitment. or hate the who can live you have got the philistine. car. with the coffee not every year will are let me of some of it in c. but alameda shot out. of it in sydney for the steam to see it has a shot of pollutants in it we shot the man for nearly every. feature see if you get bits of the book how. them of whom. we were there with an advertisement as i said can we at that and then months. and then live there aleck and the lad there and lead him up there and mila

the un to step down. that it would make any at the norwalk any there is course again that it's not the columbia it's an intellectual exile it meant for the coffee . keyboarding with coffee in it i mean really who would affect fee on with this one yet got helen with a cough i looked at it and was stunned i well. either way i love died of the fear i'd definitely only assume. that if you could it was them. in one thousand nine hundred seventy seven saeed was elected to the palestinian national council as an independent the p. and 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 rap what it meant sharper not obey

you when. they are i'm you know i'm not i'm not that not. at a meeting of the p.m.c. in algiers in november one thousand nine hundred eighty 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 that would 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 the many of their positions he was burned depended. absolutely. no can at the idea on them yes that there was sort of a lemon yet it can last out on our side and the home of

a set out of five. well i can now get married. son son and. plan for what. he had the. philistine for the. sad home. i. guess that there are any of them in the buffalo and the whole. staff 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 reevaluated his past he began work on the revealing biography your 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 than the period like i mean living 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. lemon. at the end if what if and. and a hot mob cannot sub mccleary a low and neck in a while i don't care about the lay up get our house a house in single. bottle and. be

a while. well let can get me. all i had now at kilwa that there now blah no doubt diagnosis of leukemia it 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 ninety two he went back to west to see to the toby and 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.

when this way i know can't hear what's here. 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. aesthetics here on my book. file share for. him at the. 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 paved 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 blitzer could have been and mahmoud abbas. but saeed had become increasingly critical of the way the

negotiations were heading and had resigned from the p. and c. in the one nine hundred ninety one. he considered the oslo agreement to be unfair and far too heavily weighted in favor of israel and it amounted 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 came to gaza for the first time was allowed to go to gaza. i would rage at him when i was speaking to reset this man he he cars are off that 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 are right on they can model together here. about that i'm delighted to sign. up kind of hard to. develop the did my dad subject. the c.s.o. the head of the c.s.c. by name and i think. that zero sum of the full icelandic theorem and the two that

number c r c and this really the. assad feed and. when the subbing for the state in the officer who that we had at the. it was a had can and the macand i have hammock you feel what the value of the full city hello eilidh though that then held it down at the middle of the it were head out again floats in the. kenya the colombian had and will again that the new made a but it will not now though the word. 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 full of you and i were makin under a mosquito but the had just like this and you got to have but i had to have four balls for a month the question is for any and i see in the main it's for any man most of the units are in the opposition and they're getting most that if you know miss as we

did then i missed this you know i was the america i meant come up but it will have been no yesterday best to have me. and let's say that the north and norm that is the busiest and by that settled say and again it did a bit more kenyan in my diet at the vehicle in this again while that be found where most forcefully on your side is any it be not the sort of wealth any i think edward was reaching a stage of frustration that he was beginning to think there would never be a palestine you couldn't 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 a stage where he couldn't really see that being a palestinian state

a real i mean you know what but it has as its own security which has its right to the land which you know cannot be overflowing 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. edward can more see or female they can have different care but then my possible and that willingly the a possible must see or karen not to will see again you will see for hey there she is emma. now i met on a humvee aboard mir oh sure washed out at the man on mission should be of sol who will be after the hand of russia to be had there. and know how many cats that oh. dear had we can't. get it. out of me. said a bulky ad words i said i cannot bear i'm one and. i'm to look at the one time machine for most of them was sequestered yes. and

i learned a lesson like a fossil in a well financial hour when a system set of. a car for imperial illiterate i had the fear and though it is the coffee to see a list keep. in the exam have been with you really what. they're full of. then you know spawn where mckeon had a little puppy and phone them i gave you know on the. wall only but mark had a walk and i don't want to have a look at the local level and 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 will save your honor to walk on the same walk walkway that you walk or throw any stone that 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 who is most often that's an interview. it's all of the father means resistance to occupation and theft of your home that's when 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.
