Said’s definition of Orientalism exposes how Western representations of the East are not neutral but are deeply embedded in systems of power and domination. By framing the Orient as an object of study rather than a subject with agency, Orientalist discourse perpetuates colonial ideologies that continue to influence global relations today. This critical analysis has made Orientalism a foundational text in postcolonial studies.
