Death of Edward Said

category international | miscellaneous | news report author Friday September 26, 2003 10:05author by Seán Report this post to the editors

Dear Comrades,

It is with great personal sorrow that we inform you of the death of Edward W. Said, on the 24th of September, 2003, at approximately 4 p.m. EST.

Edward had been very ill for the past couple of weeks and last night he was re-admitted to the hospital (he had been released last week and was thought to be recovering).

However, it was not to be and this afternoon, he was taken off the respirator and died shortly thereafter.

For us -- and we know for the entire academic community as well as everyone who had believed in Palestinian sovereignty, not to mention the self-determination of oppressed and exploited people worldwide -- this is a loss that will never be overcome.

IRSP Mourn the Death of Edward Said

It was with great sadness that the Irish Republican Socialist Party heard
of the death of Edward Said, professor, author, and tireless champion of
the Palestinian intifada.

Edward Said made significant contributions to a number of fields of
intellectual inquiry, but reached beyond the world of academia in a manner
which few accomplish. Edward Said helped transform the social sciences,
especially those focused on the Arab world, but he was also an activist who
ceaselessly championed the cause of justice and tirelessly sought to bring
clarity and truth regarding the struggle of the Palestinian people and the
Arab nation to the world.

Edward Said was among the most effective voices for bringing to light the
reality of the Palestinian cause in the West through his newspaper columns,
scholarly essays, books, and interviews. Said made errors in his time, as
all men do, but his works were important for helping to humanise the
reality of the Palestinian struggle and for adding the credibility that is
bestowed by the work of a genuine scholars. His voice and intellect will be
missed.

ENDS

You Sir passed your torch.

"The vast majority of our people are now thoroughly sick of the misfortunes that have befallen us . . .
On the other hand, I have never met a Palestinian who is tired enough of being a Palestinian to give up entirely."
Dr. Edward Said.
