The main content was written in 1975–76, when the author was a research fellow at Stanford University. “Orientalism,” previously a term for things such as Oriental taste in art, was defined as the West's mode of thought about the East and critically examined as racist and imperialist. Through this examination, it also raised the questions of how people represent other cultures and what other cultures are. Its materials for discussion include literary works as well as scholarly literature. The “Orient” covered in this book is mainly the Middle East, and it analyzes French, British, and American Orientalism since the 18th century. Said cites his consciousness as an Oriental raised in Palestine and Egypt as his motivation for studying Orientalism.
