Edward Said: The Last Interview // Game Changers

Get to know the passionately committed Palestinian-American intellectual whose bold literary work and incisive political commentary still resonates today. A professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University, the author of ten books—including the influential Orientalism (1987)—and visible advocate of the Palestinian cause in America, Edward Said was diagnosed with leukemia in 1991 and, towards the end of his life, stopped doing interviews. However, less than a year before his death, he made an exception and gave a remarkable final testament, speaking at length about his life, education and work.
