In these impassioned and inspiring essays, based on his 1993 Reith Lectures, Edward Said explores what it means to be an intellectual today. Are intellectuals merely the servants of special interests or do they have a larger responsibility? In these wide-ranging essays, one of our most brilliant and fiercely independent public thinkers addresses this question with extraordinary eloquence. Said sees the the intellectual as an exile and amateur whose role it is "to speak the truth to power" even at the risk of ostracism or imprisonment. Drawing on the examples of Jonathan Swift and Theodor Adorno, Robert Oppenheimer and Henry Kissinger, Vietnam and the Gulf War, Said explores the implications of this idea and shows what happens when intellectuals succumb to the lures of money, power, or specialization.Binding Type: Paperback

Good value table
Color: Espresso, Size: 22"D x 39.9"W x 18.1"H
Overall, a pretty nice table. Went together pretty quick and assembly wasn't difficult. Instructions were better than many I have assembled over the years. Build quality was what you'd expect out of a table at this price point. Color was accurate. Scratch resistance could be better on the black lower shelf but top surface that sees the most use has done well.

It's okay
The table looks nice and works fine, but the quality is just average. Assembly took some time, and a few parts didn’t fit perfectly. Overall, it’s an okay product for the price.
