Edward Said was a leading Palestinian-American philosopher, academic, literary critic, and political activist. He made significant contributions to the field of post-colonial studies, particularly through his influential work “Orientalism.” Said’s innovative approach to textual analysis transformed academic discussions in literary theory and Middle Eastern studies. He taught at Columbia University, delivered lectures globally, and actively supported Palestinian rights and a two-state solution. Additionally, he co-founded the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and wrote about music and society.
