Course Description:
This course takes the landmark 1978 book Orientalism by Palestinian-American scholar and postcolonial theorist Edward Said as its central text. What is its legacy? In attempting to answer that question, we will apply Said's theories to art, film, and journalism. Topics of discussion will include Palestinian history, Islamophobia, and anti-Arab racism. |
