知识与权力、报道与掩饰、诠释与共谋
萨义德“东方学三部曲”压轴之作
台湾“中研院”欧美研究所副所长、著名专家单德兴教授 专文推荐
从伊朗人质事件、波斯湾战争，到纽约世贸中心大楼爆炸案，西方世界一直被一个名叫“伊斯兰”的幽魂苦苦纠缠。在新闻媒体的描述，以及政府、学界与企业专家的应和下，“伊斯兰”竟沦为恐怖主义与宗教狂热的同义词。而与此同时，一些国家也利用“伊斯兰”一词，来为其丧失民心的高压政权张目。
在这部里程碑式的作品中，爱德华·萨义德针对伊斯兰被西方媒体塑造出的僵固形象，检视了其渊源和影响。他结合政治评议与文化批评来揭示出，即便是对伊斯兰世界最“客观”的报道，其中也潜藏着隐而不显的假设和对事实的扭曲。

Prior to Safe Area Gorazde: The War In Eastern Bosnia 1992-1995-Joe Sacco's breakthrough novel of graphic journalism-the acclaimed author was best known for Palestine, a two-volume graphic novel that won an American Book Award in 1996. Fantagraphics Books is pleased to present the first single-volume collection of this landmark of journalism and the art form of comics. Based on several months of research and an extended visit to the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the early 1990s (where he conducted over 100 interviews with Palestinians and Jews), Palestine was the first major comics work of political and historical nonfiction by Sacco, whose name has since become synonymous with this graphic form of New Journalism. Like Safe Area Gorazde, Palestine has been favorably compared to Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus for its ability to brilliantly navigate such socially and politically sensitive subject matter within the confines of the comic book medium. Sacco has often been called the first comic book journalist, and he is certainly the best. This edition of Palestine also features an introduction from renowned author, critic, and historian Edward Said (Peace and Its Discontents and The Question of Palestine), one of the world's most respected authorities on the Middle Eastern conflict.

With a foreword by Daniel Barenboim
Music at the Limits is the first book to bring together three decades of Edward Said’s essays and articles on music.
Music at the Limits brings together three decades of Edward W. Said’s essays on music. Addressing the work of a wide variety of composers and performers, Said analyses music’s social and political contexts, and provides rich and often surprising assessments. He reflects on the censorship of Wagner in Israel; the relationship between music and feminism; and the works of Beethoven, Bruckner, Rossini, Schumann, Stravinsky and others. Always eloquent and often surprising, Music at the Limits reinforces Said’s reputation as one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.

Banned by the Freud institute in Vienna, this controversial lecture eventually became Edward Said’s final book. Freud and the Non-European builds on Said’s abiding interest in the psychoanalyst’s work to examine Freud’s assumption that Moses was an Egyptian and from there explore the limits of identity. Such an unresolved, nuanced sense of identity, Said argues, might one day form the basis for a new understanding between Israelis and Palestinians.
