The extraordinary reach of Western imperialism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is one of the most astonishing facts in all of geopolitical history. Neither Rome, nor Byzantium, nor Spain at the height of its glory came close to the imperial scope of France, United States and particularly Great Britain in these years. But while the rule of these vast dominions left scarcely a corner of life untouched in either the colonies or the imperialist capitals, its profound influence upon the cultural products of the West has been largely ignored. In this work of historical inquiry, Edward Said, shows how the justification for empire-building was inescapably embedded in the Western cultural imagination during the Age of Empire and how even today the imperial legacy colors relations between the West and the formerly colonized world at every level of political, ideological and social practice.
