Edward Said and the Writing of History by Shelley Walia
Said famously argued in 'Orientalism' that the West developed, at the peak of colonial expansion, a body of knowledge that imperialists could use to gain power. Walia investigates the need for alternative 'subaltern' histories and the influences - Foucault, Gramsci - that inspire them.
Shelley Walia teaches Postcolonial Theory at the Department of English, Panjab University, Chandigarh. He is the author of Evelyn Waugh: Witness to Decline and Between History and Truth.
