Provides an important reading of Edward W Said's work, emphasizing not only the distinction but also the fuzzy borders between representations of the religious and the secular found within and throughout his oeuvre and at the core of some of his most customary rhetorical strategies.

Intends to contend that Edward Said's interpretation of the secular is not the utter opposite of religion in the modern globalized world. This title examines Said's own reflections on his life and the key debates about Said's work within Religious Studies and Middle Eastern Studies, and his relationship to French critical theorists.
