Abdirahman Hussein argues that underneath Said's carefully constructed eclecticism there is a global method in his work. Taking \u003ci\u003eBeginnings\u003c\/i\u003e as the key text Hussein asserts that the discontinuity of the Palestinian experience informs Said's entire oeuvre but simultaneously transcends it in a permanent search for a new synthesis. Hussein argues that this informs Said's approach not only to Conrad, Swift, and Eliot, but also to Lukács, Williams, Gramsci and Adorno.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45413346017431,"sku":"9781859843901","price":2087.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781859843901.webp?v=1767444752","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/edward-said-criticism-and-society-9781859843901","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
