Humanistic study should cross barriers toward non-domination and non-essentialism

Evidence

I would repeat that this is very much a procedure of crossing, rather than maintaining, barriers; I believe Orientalism as a book shows it, especially at moments when I speak of humanistic study as seeking ideally to go beyond coercive limitations on thought toward a non-dominative, and non-essentialist, type of learning. — Edward W. Said, Orientalism, 846
