Said is best known for describing and critiquing "Orientalism"; what he perceived as a constellation of false assumptions underlying Western attitudes toward the East.

In Orientalism (1978), Said decried the "subtle and persistent Eurocentric prejudice against Arabo-Islamic peoples and their culture". [1] He argued that a long tradition of false and romanticized images of Asia and the Middle East in Western culture had served as an implicit justification for Europe's and America's colonial and imperial ambitions.

Critiquing Said, Christopher Hitchens, who writes for Vanity Fair, wrote that he denied any possibility "that direct Western engagement in the region is legitimate" and that Said's analysis cast "every instance of European curiosity about the East [as] part of a grand design to exploit and remake what Westerners saw as a passive, rich, but ultimately contemptible 'Oriental' sphere". [2]

The British historian Bernard Lewis is another important critic who took issue with Said's work. The two authors exchanged a famous polemic in the pages of the New York Review of Books following the publication of Orientalism. Lewis' article, "The question of orientalism" was followed in the next issue by "Orientalism: an exchange".

Edward Wadie Said (إدوارد سعيد) (November 1, 1935 – September 24, 2003) was a well-known literary theorist, critic and outspoken Palestinian activist.

很好的长篇书评：http://book.douban.com/review/1535090/ 萨义德的论述重点在于伊斯兰世界和中东周边，范围最多延伸到印度，远东很少被提及（其实近东到远东基本上就是西方的东方学所划定的地理范围），不过中国文化学者们似乎很喜欢用东方学的观点来批评西方的中国学和汉学研究。我认可里面所提到的某些知识生产机制、霸权话语和文本与物质的关系，可能在西方中国学/汉学/东亚研究里面也存在着，不过假如我们接受东亚跟近东到中东确实进入西方视野的方式有不同，尤其是假如我们认可东亚几个主要国家的被殖民都跟近中东有所不同，那么东方学里的东西多少能够用于远东，我有点怀疑。有没有人写过类似于东方学的“远东学”批评，我不太清楚。西方中心论述这几个月来倒是深有体会。
