memories of Edward Said

Traces the life and work of Edward Said and explores his sense of always feeling out of place geographically, linguistically, and personally. Visits his birthplace in Jerusalem, his boyhood homes in Lebanon and Cairo, and his New York City apartment. Looks at his intellectual legacy, especially his work in literary criticism and postcolonial studies, his love of music, his role on the Palestinian National Council, and his relationship with Yasir Arafat. Blends readings from Said's memoirs and other writings, home movies, and interviews with Elias Khoury, Azmi Bishara, Daniel Barenboim, Noam Chomsky and others
