Israel was typically portrayed as the relentless underdog against Palestine during the 1973 war, which energized a triumphalist mentality in New York City. Edward Said's book, Promoting Orientalism, was motivated by his concern over how Middle Easterners have been portrayed throughout history, from wrong prophets to cutting-edge. At first, distributors ignored it, but it eventually had a significant impact on dispersing common misguided judgments about almost the Middle Eastern nation and its tenants, which ultimately led to public recognition. He mentions that many readers were interested in the subject, especially young academics who were sensitive to Orientalism issues, as well as the response to his book Orientalism. Said points out that older scholars responded to him with considerable vehemence, some delaying their responses for years. He also talks about how his writing is still frequently misconstrued today. A further definition Edward Said comes up with for Orientalism is an imaginary geography that imposes an incorrect set of assumptions on a particular region or culture. Political and cultural hegemony has been established using this idea for a long time. Through the history of Orientalism from Herodotus and other ancient Greeks to the colonial era, he emphasizes how it has developed into a formal scientific study. According to Said, orientalism has been used to support imperialism and the exploitation of non-Western civilizations and is intimately related to imperialism. He also explores how orientalism has affected Western literature, authors, and other facets of culture through being ingrained in Western civilization. Edward Said discusses the distinction between modern empires and classical ones, arguing that the latter are more abstract and lack a long history of contact with the East. He highlights the necessity to express oneself rather than be represented and the need to release oneself from this mindset. Said talks about how, although writing as a Western academic, his personal experience and desire to accurately portray Oriental reality served as his inspiration. He also discusses how his time spent studying Arabic and learning about the richness of the literature and culture of the Orient during his sabbatical in Beirut affected his re-education and the subject of his book. Edward Said talks on the relationship between power and Western study on the Orient. He contends that both academics and imperialists must comprehend the traditions and culture of the people they wish to subjugate. Said cites historical instances such as the book Kim by Kipling and the American missionaries who attempted to convert the Vietnamese heathens as examples. According to Said, there is a direct correlation between knowledge and power and that political and social forces may have an impact on even purely academic endeavors. Edward Said shares his ideas on how the idea of orientalism relates to visual art. Said was particularly struck by the reductive and degrading nature of the depictions of the orient in art.

Additionally, he mentions how popular orientalist movies and artwork, such those with Sabu and John Hall, were in Palestine and the Middle East. Said's book Orientalism's cover was inspired by the picture The Snake Charmer, which shows a youngster facing away from the observer while clutching a snake and being surrounded by dirty old men. Said comments that the Arabic writing on the structure in the picture is actually nonsense and that the painting had a realistic effect despite not being distinctive to any one nation or area.  summarize it
