Culture and Resistance by David Barsamian
In this book of interviews, Edward W. Said discusses the centrality of popular resistance to his understanding of culture, history, and social change. He reveals his thoughts on the war on terrorism, the war in Afghanistan, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and lays out a compelling vision for a secular, democratic future in the Middle East - and globally.
'Said is, as always, inspiringHe is a brilliant intellectual who as the gift of simplifying his arguments without sacrificing their essence. This book should be in every home' -- Morning Star
