Said endorsed Third-Worldist nationalism unmediated by socialist aims while Jameson did not

Evidence

Edward Said is, by contrast, theoretically much more eclectic, and had been - when he wrote Orienta/ism - ideologically far more responsive to many forms of straightforward Third-Worldist nationalism, unmediated by any socialist desire. He therefore makes a characteristically less nuanced statement in celebrating the spirit of Bandung: By the rime of rhe Bandung Conference in 1955 the entire Orient had gained its political independence from the Western empires and confronted a new configuration of imperial powers, the United States and the Soviet Union. — Aijaz Ahmad, In Theory, 1248
