Colonial domination had destroying effects on the cultural, political, economic and religious lives of the colonized. It altered the colonized people’s culture and religion and accentuated the state of oppression and exploitation of the colonized subject. In response to this, post-colonialism emerges as a critical academic study of the cultural legacy of colonialism and imperialism, which is destined to establish a national identity for the colonized people who had been subjected to colonial enslavement. A Palestinian-born American political activist and cultural critic, Edward Wadie SAID tends to analyze the conditions of identity crisis in post-colonial period generated by his personal experience of exile and the dispossession of his Palestinian people following the establishment of the Israeli state supported Zionist movements in 1948. His groundbreaking memoir Out of Place becomes a confessional story of post-colonial theme of cultural dislocation, geographical displacement and terminal illness. As the condition of exile generates frustration, and despair, this autobiographical work elucidates the issue of identity confusion which characterizes Edward SAID’s personal life. The paper aims to record the hard living conditions of identification of the intellectual writer as an outsider as well as the difficulty to reconcile different cultural and religious backgrounds.
