Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Edward Said, the famous Palestinian American scholar and activist, was one of the twentieth centurys most iconic public intellectuals, whose pioneering and to some controversial work on Orientalism shaped Middle Eastern and postcolonial studies and beyond. But how exactly did he arrive at his famous maxim to speak truth to power?This dual biographical study examines the lives of Edward Said and the eminent Lebanese philosopher and diplomat Charles Malik, a distant relative 30 years his senior whom Said knew from childhood as Uncle Charles. To Said, Malik was no ordinary relative; in his memoir, he called Malik the great negative intellectual lesson of my life, and was to describe him as an ideal as I was growing up only to later claim Malik went through an ugly transformation that I could never come to terms with. M.D. Walhout charts the development of these two remarkable figures, reconstructing in the process the way in which American power in the Middle East came to have a defining effect on Arab intellectuals in the twentieth century. Exploring issues of religion and nationalism, Walhout shows how Said came to reject much of what Malik stood for: Christian faith, hardline anti-Communism and the benign nature of American power. He argues that the example of Malik was instrumental in the development of Saids later belief that the true vocation of the intellectual was not to compromise with power, but to resist it.
