| Sumari: | This paper re-embeds Edward Said’s works as activist interventions in the twentieth-century Palestinian struggle for self-determination, expressed allegorically and aslant via his critique of nineteenth-century Orientalism. It also challenges the impulse to anthologise Orientalism, displacing it in favour of “Zionism from the Standpoint of its Victims.” In it, Orientalism, as Said conceives it, becomes a deconstructive tool to write back to Zionism, the American liberal consensus, and Arab nationalism. |
