## Description

Culture and Imperialism [Said, Edward W.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Culture and Imperialism

Review: Empire as a Totalizing Ontology - The Age of Empire, a term coined by historian Eric Hobsbawm in his classic anthology narrating the rise of European Bourgeois society and industrial capitalism, seems long behind us. The very notion today seems like a crumbling relic, imperialism being a code word for a long dead political project, a yellowing photograph of Rhodes and Stanley sitting strident as Atlas over Africa, comes to mind whenever the term is brought up. But Said in his magnus opus asks the question: “what if imperialism was not simply a political project born of European realpolitik, but a whole encompassing form of thought and more importantly cultural production, one which very much still lingers in our collective unconscious and very ontology of the quotidian?” That’s the main focus of his now classical text in comparative literature, and Said does an incredible job of filling out how the concept, as vague as it may sound, of imperialism effaced every monument of European culture and in a way modern American culture throughout the long 19th century and up to the present day. An eye opening read for anyone interested not only in literature but historiography and post colonialism.
Review: Cultue and Emperialism - The book is highly informative and assertive. In the level of language, Said use of language and grammar fascinates me; what make it interesting is the sort of refrain that follow, in other words, once you know the meaning of a phrase in this book you find yourself familiar with the rest of the book. He always define the phrases he uses because they will re-appear many times in the book. In the ideology level, the book set around a clear thread that keeps you engaged the whole time; a lot of examples support assumption that he made.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Empire as a Totalizing Ontology

The Age of Empire, a term coined by historian Eric Hobsbawm in his classic anthology narrating the rise of European Bourgeois society and industrial capitalism, seems long behind us.
