With the untimely death of Edward W. Said in 2003, various academic and public intellectuals worldwide have begun to reassess the writings of this powerful oppositional intellectual. Figures on the neoconservative right have already begun to discredit Saids work as that of a subversive intent on slandering Americas benign global image and undermining its global authority. On the left, a significant number of oppositional intellectuals are eager to counter this neoconservative vilification, proffering a Said who, in marked opposition to the antihumanism of the great poststructuralist thinkers who were his contemporariesJacques Derrida, JeanFrancois Lyotard, Jacques Lacan, Louis Althusser, and Michel Foucaultreaffirms humanism and thus rejects poststructuralist theory.In this provocative assessment of Edward Saids lifework, William V. Spanos argues that Saids lifelong antiimperialist project is actually a fulfillment of the revolutionary possibilities of poststructuralist theory. Spanos examines Said, his legacy, and the various texts he wroteincluding Orientalism,Culture and Imperialism, and Humanism and Democratic Criticismthat are now being considered for their lasting political impact.
