Abstract

As motion pictures are one of the most powerful teaching tools ever created, this article will examine how image makers have presented the Arab woman. History reveals that since the beginning of cinema, in fact for more than a century, Hollywood's movies have humiliated, demonized, and eroticized Arab women. Obviously, film makers did not create these images but inherited and embellished Europe's preexisting Arab stereotypes. In the 18th and 19th centuries European artists and writers offered fictional renditions of women as bathed and submissive exotic 'objects'. The stereotype came to be accepted as valid, becoming an indelible part of European popular culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
