Edward Said is rolling over in his grave over what these people did to his field.

bump..

Said is a tier above SJWs, in that he's actually read and understands what he's complaining about, but he's still fairly awful.

>>7777321
Would you care to elaborate on that?

>>7775430
In our contemporary globalist world, are there any genuine subalterns left?

Great documentary of Said:

No.

>>7777470
You know the history of why he did that, right?
Besides, it was mostly a symbolic gesture.

He said westerners had created this feminised, weak "other" picture of the east which was false.
But he also said the ruling Arab class had internalised this and it had become true.

If they were in reality so strong and masculine how come they would internalise this? because they were fruity cucks all along and Said can't admit it, he just wants to blame whitey.

No. He blames the Israelis (sponsored by the USA after WW2) for driving out the native population (the Palestinians) by force, claiming it as an act of colonialism.

>Palestinians
>native population
I'm pretty sure Arabs' are native to Arabia.

>>7778651
Going by that logic most Americans shouldn't be against Palestine

>>7778651
Palestinians are arabs

>>7777321
I agree.

No. Said's work is basically "Don't read books about Arabs written by Jews."
