Similarly, he has played a vital role in bringing the plight of Palestine before a world audience.  \nThis volume introduces the ideas at the heart of Said’s work, both scholarly and journalistic. Together these ideas make a highly influential statement on the nature of identity formation in the postcolonial world and offer a new understanding of the links between text or critic and their material contexts (‘the world’) . The authors ask why this work has proved so important, examining its contexts, implications and impact.  \nWith its accessible style, clear explanations of key terms, end-ofchapter summaries and fully annotated guide to further reading, this revised and fully updated edition of a book first published in 1999 is the ideal companion for readers new to Said.  \nBill Ashcroft teaches English at the University of New South Wales. Pal Ahluwalia teaches Politics at the University of Adelaide. Both have published widely in the field of post-colonial studies.  \nROUTLEDGE CRITICAL THINKERS essential guides for literary studies  \nSeries editor: Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London  \nRoutledge Critical Thinkers is a series of accessible introductions to key figures in contemporary critical thought.  \nWith a unique focus on historical and intellectual contexts, each volume examines a key theorist’s:  \n• significance  \n• motivation  \n• key ideas and their sources  \n• impact on other thinkers.  \nConcluding with extensively annotated guides to further reading, Routledge Critical Thinkers are the literature student’s passport to today’s most exciting critical thought.  \nAlready available:  \nFredric Jameson by Adam Roberts Jean Baudrillard by Richard J.Lane Sigmund Freud by Pamela Thurschwell  \nEdward Said by Bill Ashcroft and Pal Ahluwalia  \nForthcoming: Paul de Man  \nMaurice Blanchot Judith Butler Frantz Fanon  \nFor further details on this series, see [www.literature.routledge.com/rct](www.literature.routledge.com/rct)  \nEDWARD  \nSAID  \nBill Ashcroft and Pal Ahluwalia  \nLondon and New York  \nFirst published 1999  \nThis edition published 2001  \nby Routledge  \n11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge  \n29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group  \nThis edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2002.  \nFirst edition © 1999 Bill Ashcroft and Pal Ahluwalia This edition © 2001 Bill Ashcroft and Pal Ahluwalia  \nThe right of Bill Ashcroft and Pal Ahluwalia to be identified asthe Authors of this Work has been asserted by them in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988  \nAll rights reserved.
