| Summary |
This book provides a distinctive account of Edward Said's critique of modern culture by highlighting the religion-secularism distinction on which that critique is based. Hart explores the connection between this distinction and Said's diverse writings on culture, the true-telling responsibilities of the intellectual, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict |
