Reading Orientalism: Chapter 1(Pages 40-43)| Edward Said| Postcolonialism| Postcolonial Theory  

This episode  includes my  third lecture on Chapter 1 of Orientalism and covers pages 40 to 43 of the book.  

If you have ever wondered "What is orientalism" or how does Edward Said employ and explain orientalism as a concept then this series on actually reading Orientalism can be of much use to you.  The page numbers that I refer to are from the 1994 Vintage Books edition. I strongly recommend that you should read the book along with these video conversations:  Edward Said. "Orientalism." https://amzn.to/3fZqWLKEdward Said.
