Edward Said's "Culture and Imperialism" is a foundational text in postcolonial studies, extending the themes first explored in "Orientalism." Said meticulously analyzes how culture is not merely an aesthetic pursuit but a deeply embedded component of imperial power structures. He explores the complex ways in which cultural forms, from novels to music, both reflect and reinforce dominance, while also highlighting the possibilities for resistance and liberation within subjugated cultures. This seminal work challenges readers to critically examine the intricate relationship between political power and cultural production across various historical contexts, offering profound insights into the legacies of empire.
