I don't get how this work is so revered I really don't. It's whiny and absolutist and really not what an academic work should be. All Said has done so far is just whine about west=bad but I can name, off the top of my head, refutations for each of his "the West has always......" arguments. This is not very rigorous. Still I persevere. I want to see what the hype is about.
