Edward W. Said Interview on Orientalism and BBC Hard talk (Video)

<< < (3/3)

Razon Mahmood:
Most of us are always fantasized by the Hollywood movies. When we watch the documentary "Hollywood and the war machine", we can understand what is beyond the fantastic world of Hollywood. Dr. Jack Shaheen has written a book named "Reel Bad Arabs- How Hollywood Vilify Arab World". He has chiefly examined Hollywood movies and found that Hollywood is a tool used by America to vilify the Arab world. He says that Hollywood always portrays an essentialized image (According to Edward W. Said, it is one kind of Paradigmatic Fossilization of the Arab World) year after year. Please follow the below cited link to watch Dr. Jack Shaheen’s interview on his book.
