Edward Said on Rachel Corrie, Dignity, and Solidarity, 2003



The Meaning of Rachel Corrie: Of Dignity and Solidarity

by Edward Said — June 23, 2003 

"Only if we respect ourselves as Arabs and Americans, and understand the true dignity and justice of our struggle, only then can we appreciate why, almost despite ourselves, so many people all over the world, including Rachel Corrie and the two young people wounded with her from ISM, Tom Hurndall and Brian Avery, have felt it possible to express their solidarity with us."
