“This is a unique colonialism that we’ve been subjected to where they have no use for us. The best Palestinian for them is either dead or gone. It’s not that they want to exploit us, or that they need to keep us there in the way of Algeria or South Africa as a subclass.” - Palestinian #EdwardSaid. Ⓐ

cover of 1993 paerback of Culture and Imperialsim with uncredited design -- fragments of torn texts photographed on pigmented paper
Edward Said was born 90 years ago in Jerusalem, Mandatory Palestine so there is a birthday to celebrate in all its contradictions, come on people who read, sometimes act, mourn, still look forwards. I just read Culture and Imperialism, 1993 - 'contrapuntal reading' has a future. #EdwardSaid #litcrit

Edward Said lacht.
Cover des Buches Orientalismus
„Der #Humanismus ist der einzige – ich würde sogar so weit gehen und sagen, der letzte – Widerstand, den wir gegen die unmenschlichen Praktiken und Ungerechtigkeiten haben, die die Menschheitsgeschichte entstellen.“

The 9/11 attacks triggered a global "War on Terror" and a media campaign that equated Islam with terrorism, normalizing Islamophobia and reshaping the image of Muslims worldwide. #9/11 #Islamophobia #WarOnTerror #MediaPropaganda #MuslimRights #Hollywood #EdwardSaid 🌍📰🕌
