Edward W.Said an episode in the struggle of the Orient

Abstract

The year 2003 is one of the most afflictive dates in the Arabs’ minds, the Arab world had, in effect, been increasingly hurted as the various western misdeeds have people in the Orient in focus. The Israeli barbarous demeanour seems to become a definitely rooted discourse with the Palestinians. Beyond this experience, the Iraki-American war has broken out to fulfil part of the westerns’ latent desires towards the Orient. The bloody picture is, then crowned by the death of the most outstanding oriental advocates. Edward W. Said, the witness of the Palestinian intellegentsia in America and the world as well, quits on his disciples in the fall of the year. That period would settle in our world literature as the metaphor of Said’s death leaving behind him the most daring voice to the oriental man to remove the West second-hand representations and affirm himself through narrative and self-representation.
