Lecture by Edward Said at the University of Washington in May 2003, just four months before his death. Title of the lecture is Imperial Continuity: Palestine, Iraq and U.S. Policy. Said, acclaimed for his literary and cultural criticism, was a sought-after commentator on Middle Eastern politics and America's foremost spokesman for the Palestinian cause. His influential book, "Orientalism," (1978), is an examination of Western perceptions of the Islamic world. His criticism extends to the United States, which he calls a dishonest broker in the peace process due to its long-standing support for Israel.
