Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Condition: Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. Irva Mandelbaum (dust jacket design) (illustrator). First Edition. Large 8vo. Pp. xi, [3], 368. Notes. Index. Bound in full navy cloth with gilt lettering stamped on the front board and spine. Remainder mark on bottom edge; light dampstain along lower edge cloth and gutter corner of rear endpapers. In the color illustrated dust jacket that shows light edge-wear, dampstain visible on lower inside verso only. Price of $15.00 remains intact on front flap. Said's groundbreaking polemic lambasting the ossified Western view of the East as sensual, lazy, tyrannical, corrupt and retrograde. Among his fresh insights was that Forster, Conrad and Kipling produced novels designed not to question status quo, but to bolster colonialism, to keep the empire intact. The dust jacket features the painting "The Snake Charmer" by Jean-Leon Gerome. While the condition factors are evident, this copy presents well, with the dust jacket now housed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. .

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. New York: Pantheon, (1978). Octavo, original navy cloth, original unclipped dust jacket in near fine condition. Orientalism, a founding work in post-colonial theory, "remains the most influential and most controversial" in the field (Cass, 25). It offered a major new perspective on the West's representation of non-Western cultures: a webbing of thought and action described by Said as a "system of ideological fictions." A leading Columbia University professor, Said was also controversial as "a fierce critic of American and Israeli policies and an equally fierce proponent of the Palestinian cause" (New York Times). "First Edition" stated on copyright page.
