An Imperialist Love Story
Author: Amira Jarmakani
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1479815616
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
A curious figure stalks the pages of a distinct subset of mass-market romance novels, aptly called “desert romances.” Animalistic yet sensitive, dark and attractive, the desert prince or sheikh emanates manliness and raw, sexual power. In the years since September 11, 2001, the sheikh character has steadily risen in popularity in romance novels, even while depictions of Arab masculinity as backward and violent in nature have dominated the cultural landscape. An Imperialist Love Story contributes to the broader conversation about the legacy of orientalist representations of Arabs in Western popular culture. Combining close readings of novels, discursive analysis of blogs and forums, and interviews with authors, Jarmakani explores popular investments in the war on terror by examining the collisions between fantasy and reality in desert romances. Focusing on issues of security, freedom, and liberal multiculturalism, she foregrounds the role that desire plays in contemporary formations of U.S. imperialism. Drawing on transnational feminist theory and cultural studies, An Imperialist Love Story offers a radical reinterpretation of the war on terror, demonstrating romance to be a powerful framework for understanding how it works, and how it perseveres.

BUSY AS A BEE The escaped bees were not her fault…well, okay, so Olivia Ashfield did fall on their hives and they did severely sting a man and a dog, leaving Owen Rancourt without his trusty assistant and his best search-and-rescue dog. The rugged loner wanted revenge! But what was an heiress to a bakery fortune to do—other than to say, “Let him eat cake”? Unfortunately, that wasn’t an option for Olivia. She couldn’t slink back home or she’d lose the bet she’d made with her brother: to fend for herself for eight weeks. So, she had to persuade Owen to hire her as his assistant. The workload was daunting, but her incredibly good-looking boss made small-town Danby just the place to get stung…by love!

Desert Passions
Author: Hsu-Ming Teo
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292739389
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
The Sheik—E. M. Hull’s best-selling novel that became a wildly popular film starring Rudolph Valentino—kindled “sheik fever” across the Western world in the 1920s. A craze for all things romantically “Oriental” swept through fashion, film, and literature, spawning imitations and parodies without number. While that fervor has largely subsided, tales of passion between Western women and Arab men continue to enthrall readers of today’s mass-market romance novels. In this groundbreaking cultural history, Hsu-Ming Teo traces the literary lineage of these desert romances and historical bodice rippers from the twelfth to the twenty-first century and explores the gendered cultural and political purposes that they have served at various historical moments. Drawing on “high” literature, erotica, and popular romance fiction and films, Teo examines the changing meanings of Orientalist tropes such as crusades and conversion, abduction by Barbary pirates, sexual slavery, the fear of renegades, the Oriental despot and his harem, the figure of the powerful Western concubine, and fantasies of escape from the harem. She analyzes the impact of imperialism, decolonization, sexual liberation, feminism, and American involvement in the Middle East on women’s Orientalist fiction. Teo suggests that the rise of female-authored romance novels dramatically transformed the nature of Orientalism because it feminized the discourse; made white women central as producers, consumers, and imagined actors; and revised, reversed, or collapsed the binaries inherent in traditional analyses of Orientalism.
