330 .. $a "Imagining Arab Womanhood examines orientalist images of Arab womanhood in the United
States since the turn of the twentieth century, exploring, in particular, representations
of belly dancers, harem girls, and veiled women. Through semiotic analysis, Jarmakani
demonstrates that these images have functioned as nostalgic placeholders for pressing,
yet unarticulated concerns about shifting spatial and temporal realities within the
contexts of expansionism/modernization and imperialism/late capitalism. Calling these
representations cultural mythologies, Jarmakani maps them onto dominant American narratives
of power and progress, insisting on an analysis that understands them to be artifacts
shaped by the interests of the American contexts in which they circulate. Imagining
Arab Womanhood is a vital addition to conversations about representation, race, and
gender."--Jacket
