| RIP, Edward Said | 2003-09-25T08:40:07-04:00 | /rip-edward-said/ |

Via the New York Times comes news of the death of Edward Said, who had been fighting leukemia for several years.
The obituary interestingly reflects our current cultural obsessions, I think; “Leading Advocate of Palestinians” makes the headline, while Orientalism doesn’t appear until paragraph 21.
His loss will be felt deeply, both within the academy and in the political realm.
