The book explores the representation of Middle Eastern characters in film, contrasting the typical portrayal of white Westerners with figures like Sinbad and the Thief of Bagdad. These protagonists, rooted in Islamic folklore and history, serve as a counter-tradition, challenging stereotypes and offering a nuanced view of the region's cultural heritage. By examining these characters, the work sheds light on the complexities of identity and the dynamics of 'Otherness' in Western narratives.
