How can Edward Said’s concept of Orientalism be connected to our society’s views and treatments of Asian people?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The most well-known piece of work by Edward Said that was published in 1978 is the notion of Orientalism. In particular, literary studies (English, comparative literature), history, anthropology, sociology, area studies (primarily Middle East studies), and comparative religion have all benefited from its influence. Said looks at fictional and nonfictional Western depictions of Middle Eastern communities and cultures in Orientalism. He received widespread acclaim for his book's original and thought-provoking investigations of the connections between texts, both literary and non-literary. Said analyses these pieces in light of the social, political, and economic environments in which they were produced.
