The book explores the portrayal of Middle Eastern characters in cinema, contrasting the dominant narratives that feature white Western protagonists with those derived from Islamic folklore, such as Sinbad and the Thief of Bagdad. It examines how these figures serve as a counter-tradition, highlighting their complexity and the cultural richness they represent, while also addressing the implications of their depiction as 'Other' to Western audiences. The analysis delves into themes of identity, representation, and the impact of cultural narratives in film.
