| Description: | Focusing on the first 10 years following the events of 9/11, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the various means through which stereotypical characteristics of Muslim identities and their worlds have been realised in US cinema. In the course of the analysis, it emerges that changes to the old-style stereotypical representations have also been influenced by factors other than politics. Focusing on the decade following 9/11, this critical analysis examines the various portrayals of Muslims in American cinema. Comparison of pre- and post-9/11 films indicates a stereotype shift, influenced by factors other than just politics. The evolving definitions of male, female and child characters and of setting and landscape are described. The rise of the formidable American female character who dominates the weak Muslim male emerges as a common theme. |
