Histoire
The sun is setting on the Western world. Slowly but surely, the direction in which the world spins has reversed: where for the last five centuries the globe turned westward on its axis, it now turns to the east.... For centuries, fame and fortune were to be found in the West - in the New World of the Americas. Today it is the East that calls out to those in search of adventure and riches. The region stretching from Eastern Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia, deep into China and India, is taking center stage.

Description
This landmark book, first published in 1978, remains one of the most influential books in the Social Sciences, particularly Ethnic Studies and Postcolonialism. Said is best known for describing and critiquing "Orientalism", which he perceived as a constellation of false assumptions underlying Western attitudes toward the East. In Orientalism Said claimed a "subtle and persistent Eurocentric prejudice against Arabo-Islamic peoples and their culture." He argued that a long tradition of false and romanticized images of Asia and the Middle East in Western culture had served as an implicit justification for Europe and the US' colonial and imperial ambitions. Just as fiercely, he denounced the practice of Arab elites who internalized the US and British orientalists' ideas of Arabic culture. Peter Ganim's narration gives the work an elegant and knowledgable voice.

We're lucky to have this on audio
In the academic world, this book has become well-known and influential that a realistic estimate of its impact has the sound of hyperbole. That makes it worth reading in the same way as Plato's _Republic_ or Machiavelli's _The Prince_; you may not agree with all or even much of its arguments, but there's much value simply in knowing what these ideas are that so many people are thinking and talking about.
For those who don't know the book, it describes the connections between how European empires (and the US, somewhat) controlled the Middle East politically, fantasized about it, and studied it, arguing that these were all aspects of the same structures and processes. It suffers from a certain amount of contradiction and one-sided argument, but I think that when Said was writing in the 1970s the other side of the argument--the pro-colonialist side--was more frequently heard than it is now.
Another reviewer complained that he quit after listening for 45 minutes and finding that it was all generic political arguments. I think that reviewer never got past the new preface, which does go on for something like 45 minutes. The preface was added around 2004 and is mainly a fairly standard critique of the US invasion of Iraq from the perspective of its early years. There's no solution but to be patient and wait for the book itself to begin.
I've had a print copy for years and never got around to reading it, but am finding the audio version pleasant going. Said's writing is much clearer and jargon-free than many of his admirers--he is a scholar of literature, after all. The reader does well enough to keep my attention, and handles fairly well the French words that show up regularly. There are times when he sounds exactly like a computer-generated voice reading text, but his reading doesn't put me to sleep.

Groundbreaking and amazing
Where does Orientalism rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
The combination of a deeply researched text and skillful narration propels this work to my favourites shelf.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I had an extreme reaction in the fact that the book was incredibly enlightening, philosophically and academically (not that those two categories are always distinct).
Any additional comments?
Prepare to be challenged while reading and then continue to challenge previously held worldviews after you've finished.

Why now? Because it's about now.
I had heard of Orientalism for many years -- it was on my feel-guilty-because-I-haven't-read-it list. I was more or less shocked to see that Audible was offering it -- unabridged, yet. What shocked me further is that its vitality grabs you by the throat from word one. I'm sure that part of the effect is produced by the superb narrator, but most of it must come from the impassioned yet inescapably logical author. i'll never think the same way about people in the non-rich world again.

Really Powerful Content
What did you like best about this story?
There were far fewer particular ideas and points in this book than than you might believe, given its length, but it's only because Said takes the time to expand upon each point with many historical proofs. If you want to learn about a history of racism towards people from the Middle East, start here. It will hammer the key points into your head very hard.
Any additional comments?
It is a difficult read. Emotionally for sure, but it gets hard to pay attention to after a while too. But, it's still very worth it to get to the end.
And the narration was fine. Did its job.

For the non French listeners
Lacking a fluency in French will make this book rather frustrating at times, as the reader is without subtitles or translation.

Impressive Scholarly Insight
Not sure how I missed reading this as an undergraduate majoring in history, but maybe that's the point. Said's classic, which includes an updated foreword and afterword, details the growth but more important, the odd persistence of the scholarly field called Orientalism. Said, a scholar at Colombia who was a lifelong advocate for the Palestinian cause (he was born in Bethlehem during the British Mandate and immigrated to US as a teenager), presents a convincing portrait of the pattern of primarily Western (especially British and American) scholars who for a variety of motives present a portrait of the "Oriental" world which is simplistic and stereotyped. Indeed, while many of the names are familiar (T.E. Lawrence, Rudyard Kipling, Bernard Lewis), many of the men are well-known only to the dedicated study of the Orient, particularly that part that comprises the Middle East. I urge anyone who wants to get a clearer understanding of why the rhetoric of Trump and his underlings is actually quite traditional to listen to this book. The reader does a good job in handling text that has quite a lot of extensive passages in French, German, and Arabic (some passages fortunately are translated) and has pleasant timbre.
Lastly, this book is controversial for many readers because it does portray Orientalists as almost without exception fundamentally biased against Arabs. What makes it controversial is in my mind the lack of criticism that the author had for the actions of some bad, and frankly, unIslamic, behavior (he manages a swipe at the fatwa against Salman Rushdie near book's end). To that criticism, Said makes the rejoinder that his point was not to show the history of the Middle East but how a single scholarly field came to be defined by the prejudiced polemics of its practicioners. Not an easy listen, but an important one.

An Exhaustive Analysis
A well researched history of the study of the near east from a perspective outside of colonial and western biases. A bit too detailed at times, and sometimes condescending, but overall a very informative book.

Thank you! THANK YOU!!
I want to thank you, Audible, for give scholars the opportunity to have their books in audio.
Edward Said deserves it.
I am really looking forward for the next publications. I hope there's more Edward Said coming!!
Please, the Audio Book field have reached an academic level that you, Audible, has the responsibility to fill this gap. More Academic Books! Please! and "Bravo" for Edward Said!

well said
this is allegedly a challenging book to read, and no doubt you'll have to relisten to parts of it, but the performance makes it easier and the flow is very nice. would have been better if some of the fench and German had more English translation, but this only crops up in a few places.
