Description:
Combining a detailed history-economic, ideological, and aesthetic-with in-depth analysis, this illustrated study provides extensive coverage of cinema in the Arab world. The book traces the industry's development from colonial times to the present, its ambiguous relationship with commercial western cinema, and the effect of Egyptian market dominance in the region. Covering not only Egyptian but also North African, Syrian, Palestinian, Iraqi, and Lebanese cinema, Shafik traces the influence on the medium of local and regional art forms and modes of thought, both classical and popular, and shows how indigenous and external factors have combined in a dynamic process of "cultural repackaging."
