Said in 2003, various academic and public intellectuals worldwide have begun to reassess the writings of this powerful oppositional intellectual. Figures on the neoconservative right have already begun to discredit Said's work as that of a subversive intent on slandering America's benign global image and undermining its global authority. On the left, a significant number of oppositional intellectuals are eager to counter this neoconservative vilification, proffering a Said who, in marked opposition to the "anti-humanism" of the great poststructuralist thinkers who were his contemporaries--Jacques Derrida, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Jacques Lacan, Louis Althusser, and Michel Foucault--reaffirms humanism and thus rejects poststructuralist theory. In this provocative assessment of Edward Said's lifework, William V. Spanos argues that Said's lifelong anti-imperialist project is actually a fulfillment of the revolutionary possibilities of poststructuralist theory. Spanos examines Said, his legacy, and the various texts he wrote--including Orientalism, Culture and Imperialism, and Humanism and Democratic Criticism --that are now being considered for their lasting political impact. 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern$y20th century 606 $aPoststructuralism 606 $aOrientalism 606 $aHumanism 606 $aImperialism 606 $aPolitics and culture 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$xPhilosophy 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern 615 0$aPoststructuralism. 615 0$aOrientalism. 615 0$aHumanism. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aPolitics and culture. 676 $a973.91092 676 $aB 700 $aSpanos$b William V$0465317 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960167703321 996 $aThe legacy of Edward W.
