The Sheik. Pepe le Moko. Casablanca. Aladdin. Some of the most
popular and frequently discussed titles in movie history are imbued
with orientalism, the politically charged way in which Western
artists have represented gender, race, and ethnicity in the
cultures of North Africa and Asia. This is the first anthology to
address and highlight orientalism in film from pre-cinema
fascinations with Egyptian culture through the "Whole New World" of
Aladdin. Eleven illuminating and well-illustrated essays utilize
the insights of interdisciplinary cultural studies, psychoanalysis,
feminism, and genre criticism. Other films discussed include The
Letter, Caesar and Cleopatra, Lawrence of Arabia, Indochine, and
several films of France's cinema colonial. In addition to the
editors, the contributors are Dudley Andrew, Phebe Shih Chao, Mary
Hamer, Marina Heung, Antonia Lant, Adrienne L. McLean, Janice
Morgan, Alan Nadel, Charles O'Brien, and Ella Shohat.
