Reviews for Edward Said: A Legacy of Emancipation and Representation
"Iskandar, Rustom, and their contributors have produced a rich, ambitious, and complex collection that will surely become one of the authoritative texts for those interested in Said's legacy." Arab Studies Journal "Recapitulates something of Said's own restlessness, critical energy, and deeply self-reflexive political engagements."
