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.

Great protective case with a sleek design
Color: White
This iPad case fits perfectly and looks very clean and modern. The clear back keeps the iPad visible while the frame provides good protection around the edges. The case feels sturdy without adding too much bulk. I really like the built-in pencil holder—it keeps the Apple Pencil secure and easy to access. The auto sleep/wake feature works well, and the cover folds nicely to support different viewing angles for typing or watching videos. Overall, this is a great quality case that offers good protection and functionality. I would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a simple, protective, and well-designed iPad cover.

Perfect!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Love the color of this case! Does my iPad perfectly which is great so it protects it. Not heavy. Super easy to take off and on. Scratch resistant as I’ve had this for a while and there’s minimal scratches if any at all that I can see. Feels super soft and sleek.
