Edward Said was not an influence on Talal Asad. Talal’s critical account of Orientalism preceded Said’s book of that name. On the contrary Talal and Edward had substantial disagreements according to Tala Asad. Also Talal’s discussion of Orientalism was published 5 years early the Said’s Orientalism. |

== Said's response to 1999 Commentary reporting == |
|
|
Hello, the Palestinian National Council subsection (under the Politics section) currently ends with several lines about an investigation by Commentary in 1999 that seem to call into question Said's "claims" about his "Palestinian boyhood". Said's response to these criticisms is not mentioned. Based on , I would like to suggest an addition at the end of the current section, something like: |
|
|
|
|
|
"Said responded to these reports, noting that he had described his upbringing as being split between Jerusalem, Cairo and Lebanon in his 1999 memoir, ''Out of Place''. Said claimed that ''Commentary's'' investigation was intended to discredit Palestinian activism more broadly, stating: "If they can prove that the leading Palestinian intellectual is a liar, what does this say about the rest of the Palestinians?" ] (]) 18:26, 29 September 2023 (UTC) |

:I read the paragraph in the PW article you cite, but it is underwhelming. At most, per ], I would write: Said responded that ''Commentary's'' investigation was intended to discredit Palestinian activism by discrediting him. -- ] (]) 18:11, 20 October 2023 (UTC) |

For anyone who follows this page (or anyone who reviews this sort of thing), do you think this article is still a GA? It looks to me like it has accumulated quite a bit of cruft and varous pet peeves since it was promoted. -- ] (]) 18:14, 20 October 2023 (UTC) |

== Said's father is a Palestinian-American == |
|
|
|
|
|
Said's father should be identified as a Palestinian-American. According to the Guardian's obituary "His father Wadie, a Christian, had emigrated to the US before the first world war. He volunteered for service in France and returned to the Middle East as a respectable Protestant businessman - with American citizenship - before making an arranged marriage to the daughter of a Baptist minister from Nazareth. |
|
|
In Out Of Place (1999), the memoir of his childhood and youth, Said described his father, who called himself William to emphasise his adopted American identity, as overbearing and uncommunicative." |
|
|
|
|
|
So while Said's father was born in Palestine (during Ottoman times), he emigrated to the US and later gained citizenship during military service. He returned to the region, then under British control, as an American expat to do business. He married a local woman and raised children. But there is no indication Said's father gave up his citizenship in the US despite living and working in Palestine and Egypt. |
|
|
|
|
|
So he should be identified as Palestinian-American. Compare his identity to that of ] who is identified as "Palestinian-American" because she gained American citizenship during her adulthood but lived most of her life in the Middle East (mostly the Palestinian Territory of the West Bank and also partially in Jordan). If she is Palestinian-American than so is Said's father. |
|
|
|
|
|
So the sentence "His parents were born in the Ottoman Empire: his mother Hilda Said (née Musa) was half Palestinian and half Lebanese, and was raised in the city of Nazareth; and his father Wadie "William" Said was a Jerusalem-based Palestinian businessman." should instead read "...Wadie "William" Said was a Jerusalem-based Palestinian-American businessman."] (]) 15:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC) |

The above sentence might be better rendered as |

: After the ], he relocated to Egypt and then to the United States, enrolling at ] while in Egypyt and ] after arriving in the United States. |

I'd like to replace the profile picture. The profile photo of Prof. Edward Said shown in the article is not really a representative one, in the sense that's not how he's known around the world. It's also a side profile of the professor, and that's just poor. I have better pictures of him. ] (]) 09:54, 26 October 2024 (UTC) |

Would make sense to also add a note that before Mariam he was also married to Maire Jaanus from 1962-1967. It is common knowledge that you can find many sources for online.

But there is no indication Said's father gave up his citizenship in the US despite living and working in Palestine and Egypt.
So he should be identified as Palestinian-American. Compare his identity to that of Shireen Abu Akleh who is identified as "Palestinian-American" because she gained American citizenship during her adulthood but lived most of her life in the Middle East (mostly the Palestinian Territory of the West Bank and also partially in Jordan). If she is Palestinian-American than so is Said's father.
So the sentence "His parents were born in the Ottoman Empire: his mother Hilda Said (née Musa) was half Palestinian and half Lebanese, and was raised in the city of Nazareth; and his father Wadie "William" Said was a Jerusalem-based Palestinian businessman." should instead read "...Wadie "William" Said was a Jerusalem-based Palestinian-American businessman."ItsRainingCatsAndDogsAndMen (talk) 15:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
