Summary
A landmark work from the intellectually auspicious author of Orientalism, this book explores the long-overlooked connections between the Western imperial endeavor and the culture that both reflected and reinforced it. This classic study, the direct successor to Said's main work, is read by Peter Ganim (Orientalism).

A great essay
Said is thorough, rigorous and honest. But, this book is more than a piece of scholarship; it is valuable because it makes one question narratives and depictions of literature and the media, which unfortunately have become dominant paradigms when dealing with other racial and religious groups.

Outstanding.
Recommended on all counts. Brilliantly written, piercingly insightful, great narration. If you think you may have any interest at all then you should listen to this.

Very good
Very interesting and informative. Rather depressing to ‘read’ in 2024 though, given that the hope expressed in the final chapter is utterly contradicted by reality.

You missed out Scotland!
Scotland is a colony and it’s a great shame the author did not recognise that fact in his otherwise excellent book.

Difficult to understand and book is unnecessarily long
Perhaps I just don't the writing style so thought it was convoluted and unnecessarily long.

Croaking, droning, lilting, nasal narration
The content itself is fascinating, important and relevant but … the American author’s narration is robotic, buzzing, croaking, droning, lilting, and nasal, it’s insufferable especially over the nearly 20 hour duration. Add to this the attempts to sound erudite(?) when pronouncing foreign words which produces distractingly and irritatingly drawn out and affected gurgles and trills instead. (E.g. Bois du Bologne -Bwwahhdyuuuboollllllwahnayeeeh, Fakir - fahhhkyieerrrh, Camus - cyamyoooo)
