In a postmodern world of globalised capital, how does the concept
of Orientalism inform understandings of cultural exchange? In this
detailed and wide-ranging examination, Arab popular culture is
explored in its relation to American culture and capitalism.
Offering new insights on Edward Said's longstanding theoretical
lens, Consumerist Orientalism presents an updated conceptual
framework through which to understand the intercultural
relationship between East and West, exploring a wide range of
cultural production; from an Oscar-nominated Jordanian film to
Turkish-Arab soap operas and Arab-diaspora rap. Drawing on key
contemporary critical thinkers and in-depth cultural analysis, the
relationship between capitalism, postmodernism and Orientalism is
explored with fresh insights, making this essential reading for
students of Middle Eastern culture, globalisation and postcolonial
studies.
