Images of Enchantment is a book that brings a new approach to the study of the arts of the Middle East. By dealing in one volume with dance, music, painting, and cinema, as experienced and practiced not only within the Middle East but also abroad, Images of Enchantment breaks down the artificial distinctions — of form, geography, ‘high’ and ‘low’ art, performer and artist — that are so often used to delineate the subjects and processes of Middle Eastern artistic culture.
The eighteen essays in this book cover themes as diverse as Bedouin dance, the music of Arab Americans, cinema in Egypt and Iran, Hollywood representations of the Middle East, and contemporary Sudanese painting.
