About This Book
"This book considers the ways in which urban, mercantile, Protestant America depicted the Islamic world of the Middle East and North Africa during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Using a wide variety of sources - paintings, decorative arts, interior design, and numerous examples from advertising and popular culture - the authors demonstrate the American representations of the Orient often revealed more about prevailing American attitudes than about the foreign cultures they purported to depict."--BOOK JACKET.
