Abdirahman Hussein (born in Hargeisa, Somaliland) is a scholar and teacher who taught at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. He is best known for his book on Edward Said, Edward Said: Criticism and Society (London: Verso, 2002), in which he offers a critical study of Said and his influences. [1] The book was praised by Bart Moore-Gilbert for its "judicious critique" of Moore-Gilbert's own 1997 study of Said in which, he says, he did not pay sufficient attention to the "Palestinian dimensions and orientations of Said's thinking". [2] Also noted is Hussein's "triangulation" of Joseph Conrad, whose Heart of Darkness is, according to Hussein, "foundational to Said's entire career and project". [3] One of Hussein's focal points is Said's 1976 book Beginnings: Intention and Method, whose importance he says is overlooked. [4] [5]
