Well, thank you my friend. No, I'm just a lowly peasant boy. I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology with a minor in Political Science. I enjoy reading about history and military conflicts. Retired from the U.S. Army. I came across Said and his quote many years ago while studying about the Israelis and the Palestinians.
Ah, gotcha. History and War are fascinating subjects to study, both formally and informally. Said is crucial and he understands Western prejudices very well. If you like him, I suggest you read Homi Bhaba's The Location of Culture. Very abstract and complex, but one of the best books that I've read.
