‘Culture and Imperialism’ is a collection of thematically related essays that trace the connection between imperialism and culture throughout the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The essays expand the arguments of Said’s former book ‘Orientalism’ to describe general patterns of relation, between the modern metropolitan Western world and their overseas colonial territories, thus exploring the long-overlooked connections between the Western imperial endeavor and the culture that both reflected and reinforced it. “Edward Said helps us to understand who we are and what we must do if we are to aspire to be moral agents, not servants of power.” (Noam Chomsky).
