The Power of a pen is Mightier than the Sword. The power that the written word carries is far more harmful and damaging than a sword. At best the sword can only cause physical harm - that too by force. Apr 06, 2016 “The pen is mightier than the sword” is a famous phrase. The sword is very powerful and can extend enormous authority on humankind. Sword is powerful enough to enslave people and create a reign of terror. However, sword can never conquer the mind and heart of the people.Mightier Than The Sword Fanfiction
Over the summer, I struggled to read a book by Edward Said entitled Culture and Imperialism. Despite its density, each time I read a few pages, I couldn’t help but feel enlightened. A new realization would come to me every couple of sentences, and I could not shake off the theme of identity his arguments conveyed. To what extent does that way I view my history and culture concern the existence of imperialism? This is the question that lingered. I found myself utterly bewildered each time I turned the page, only to realize that the answer was, immensely.
A child from Jordan is incapable of writing about the limestone buildings, the rolling hills, and star-filled desert skies that surround her. Yet writes with ease and fluidity, on the looming skyline of Manhattan of which she knows nothing. To what extent has the experience of colonialism impacted the self-identification and narratives of the decolonizing world? A more sophisticated way of phrasing the question. Edward Said’s Culture and Imperialism is an invaluable guide to the way in which Western literature managed to strip and silence the identity of the people in the decolonizing world. Said utilizes a tool he coins “contrapuntal reading,” defined as the intertwined histories and perspectives, specifically in regards to colonial texts. To make one of the strongest cases, in favor of the aphorism, “the pen is mightier than the sword.” Said undoubtedly proves the legacy of colonialism manifests itself into a lingering imperialism in the spheres of culture, and specific ideological, political, economic, and social practices.
Edward Said starts of his book exploring the interconnected nature of history and geography. He argues that just as “none of us are outside or beyond geography, none of us is completely free from the struggle of geography.” The earth, in effect, cannot hold empty, uninhabited spaces (Said, Pg 7). What was colonization and imperialism, other than the conquest of spaces, in effect, a complex struggle? Said draws the distinction early on between imperialism and colonialism. Colonialism, with the Latin root word colonus, meaning farmer, tenant farmer, or serf, requires the “transfer of populations to a new territory, where they permanently settle” maintaining loyalty to their country of origin. At the opening of Dombey and Son, Charles Dickens emphasizes the importance of his son’s birth through this statement “ the earth was made for [them] to trade in, and the sun and moon were made to give them light” (Said, 13). The East to many westerners was empty; it was theirs for the taking, this was an essential concept in justifying the action of colonialism. Despite the fact that both imperialism and colonialism stem from political and economic power, an important distinction is present. The distinction therein lies in the ability to exert power over lands through the means of ideology, rather than physical presence.
The complex struggle of colonialism and imperialism didn’t merely exist between soldiers and cannons; it was about “ideas, forms, about images and imaginings” (Said, Pg 7). One of the most interesting things I learned from this book is the existing power struggle between the previously colonized people, and the colonizers. It is the bearing of the past upon cultural attitudes, which allows the old hierarchy of colonizer and colonized to extend to the modern day hostility (Said, Pg 16). Essentially the pattern of earlier imperialist history has been reiterating and reproducing, due to a shattered, destructive and impoverished understanding of the alignment of powers. Our lack of acceptance, understanding, and shared understanding of what the history of colonialism and imperialism has done, has allowed us to recreate such asymmetric alignments of power. Our inability to critically engage with this history, has allowed no space of mutuality and interdependence between the two experiences, of colonized and colonizer.Mightier Than The Sword Book
We see this today, especially in race relations on the global scale. Whether it tension between whites and blacks in America, due to a stinging wound that was slavery, or apartheid in South Africa, based on a hierarchy of race. The power struggle is evident. Ideas, sometimes can be more detrimental and destructive to society that a sword, a gun, or a bomb. It destroys the way we view the “other”, and the way we interact with the “other.” Often resulting in a power asymmetry that requires courage to see, and bravery to overcome.
