"One of the most famous literary critics of the twentieth century, Edward Said's work has been hugely influential far beyond academia. As a prominent advocate for the Palestinian cause and a noted music critic, Said redefined the role of the public intellectual. In his books, as scholarly as they are readable, he challenged conventional critical demarcations between disciplines. His major opus, Orientalism, is a key text in postcolonial studies that continues to influence as well as challenge scholars in the field. Conor McCarthy introduces the reader to Said's major works and examines how his work and life were intertwined. He explains recurring themes in Said's writings on literature and empire, on intellectuals and literary theory, on music and on the Israel/Palestine conflict. This concise, informative and clearly written introduction for students beginning to study Said is ideally set up to explain the complexities of his work to new audiences."

"Zubir Said is best known as the composer of Majulah Singapura, the national anthem of Singapore, Semoga Bahagia, the Singapore school anthem, and Melayu Raya. Born into a humble and religious family in Sumatra where music was considered haram, at 21 he set out to seek his fortune in Singapore, attracted initially by the glittering lights and the availability of butter and kopi susu, but soon by the opportunities it offered him to pursue his dreams. Armed with his first musical instrument, a bamboo flute he had carved himself, and a basic knowledge of music number notations, Zubir taught himself to read, write and compose music. Despite the many challenges he faced, he became a musical icon of the 1950s and 1960s on both sides of the Straits of Johor, at a time when Independence was the clarion call and nationalist fervour was running high."

"Penelitian kepustakaan yang Telah dilakukan, merupakan dasar penyusunan penulisan skripsi yang bertema Sejarah dan kebudayaan Islam Abad 16. Data-data kepustakaan yang diperoleh kemudian dirangkum sehingga mewujudkan suatu tulisan yang bersifat deskriptif kronologis. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa gerakan Usmani Muda adalah suatu gerakan kaum pemuda Islam di daerah Turki yang; menginginkan agar Kesultanan Turki Usmani memiliki suatu undang-undang guna mewujudkan suatu Negara yang berkonstitusi dan mengembalikan ajaran Islam pada proporsinya. Diketahui bahwa mulai abad 17 Kesultanan Turki Usmani mengalami kemunduran dan kemerosotan dalam pemerintahannya, sehingga mendapat julukan The Sick Man of Europe. Usaha untuk mengembalikan kemegahan dan kewibawaan kesultanan yang pernah berjaya pada abad 15-16 ini, dilakukan dengan caras malaksanakan pembaharuan-pembaharuan yang bercorak Barat dalam segala bidang. Pembaharuan besar-besaran yang pro barat ini mendapat tantangan dari para tokoh Usmani Muda, karena dampak pembaharuannya membawa kemunduran pada ajaran Islam yang merupakon panutan masyarakat Turki Usmani. Pada tahun 1876 gagasan para tokoh Usmani muda tentang undang-undang dasar berhasil terbentuk, namun berdasaran undang-undang ini pula, gerakan Usmani Muda dibubarkan oleh Sultan yang berkuasa pada saat itu."
