Pre-9/11 Islamophobia
Don DeLillo’s Falling Man reproduces the same Orientalist mantra of the Muslim terrorist. Although he is much celebrated for writing thrilling terrorism and assassination novels long before the 9/11 event, many critics situated his Falling Man within the 9/11 neo-Orientalist framework. This study argues that the 9/11 occurrence (while acknowledging its significance) is not the only trigger behind DeLillo’s representation of Muslims in his novel. …
Oriental Mimicry
Most post-9/11 novels are full of Orientalism of the Muslims as terrorists, misogynists or backward and intolerant murderers. Following the uproar after the unfortunate attacks of 9/11, Islam and Muslims have since become the centre of academic discourse, literature, media and even entertainment. The paper contextualises Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s exemplification of the Muslims in her enlightenment stance as Colonial Mimicry, her dehumanisation of Muslims…
(Un)reading Orientalism in Sherry Jones’ The Jewel of Medina
Oriental representations of Muslims are often manifested in a society's media, literature, theatre and other creative means of expression.

Orientalism of Muslims in Western writings and discourses have been much discussed, debated and disproved, yet some works of literature con…

Edward Said’s Orientalism questions the Western representation of the Eastern ‘other’, especially the Arab Muslims. A misrepresentation that has always treated the orient with inferiority; as barbaric and backward compared to the refined, reasoning and advanced Occident. This form of representation is what Ayaan Hirsi Ali embarked on in her bestselling memoir Infidel (2007). It chronicles her geographical journey from Somalia to Saudi Arabia, Eth…

The Samoan Side
The result of the frst (and the subsequent) contact between the West and the East is an \nOriental documentation, colonial establishment and notional subject-making of the \nEast by the supposedly civilised and advanced West. Like all Orients, the Pacifc has \nbeen much represented and made subjects of theoretical discourses, characterised \nas bare-breasted and sexually available women, murderous and lecherous men, \nidly tropical islands inhabi…
