Orientalism is Edward Said’s groundbreaking analysis of how the West has historically constructed and perceived "the Orient"—a cultural and ideological invention more than a geographic reality. Drawing on literature, art, history, and politics, Said argues that Western depictions of Eastern societies were not objective but served colonial interests, reinforcing ideas of Western superiority. This landmark text launched the field of postcolonial studies and remains vital for understanding power, representation, and the politics of knowledge. Deeply scholarly yet passionate, it dismantles centuries of myth-making and urges a more nuanced and self-aware engagement with other cultures.
