Edward Said is the man!

I'm reading him for 3 of my classes this semester! (ok, we read just maybe two passages for one class (Immigration and Identity), but literally right now, for this week, in two of my classes - Imagining the Middle East and Intro to Social and Cultural Analysis (SCA), we're reading from his Orientalism and in the SCA class from the Edward Said Reader as well (one of the co-editors btw is Moustafa Bayoumi - the author of How Does It Feel to Be a Problem? Being Young and Arab in America)

I'm loving the SCA class, and having read some of Gramsci and Foucault for SCA helps in understanding Said as he draws from them

We watched this video in class yesterday:
