Power, Politics, and Culture: Edited and with an introduction by Gauri Viswanathan

"Power, Politics, and Culture," edited and introduced by Gauri Viswanathan, is an essential collection that showcases the intellectual brilliance of Edward Said through a series of thought-provoking interviews conducted over three decades. These discussions, sourced from a global spectrum of publications, encapsulate Said's profound engagement with a variety of subjects that span from the political to the personal, including literature, music, history, and the contentious landscapes of politics. This book is not just an exploration of Said's celebrated critique on Orientalism and his insights into notable figures and events—it is a vivid portrait of a critic who has persistently challenged and expanded the horizons of critical thought. Published on August 14, 2001, this collection is particularly suited for college students and engages with themes of education equity and voting rights, urging a deeper understanding of the role of the critic in society and the continuous impact of political correctness and censorship. Delve into "Power, Politics, and Culture" to navigate the compelling intersections of culture, politics, and personal identity through the articulate and impassioned voice of Edward Said.
