Late Capitalist Orientalism & ARABS, ISLAM For May 9th

            According to the Article “Late Capitalist Orientalism by Sunaina Maira”, there are a deep conception of the “Oriental culture”, which mostly consists of belly dancing or image of “non-liberated” Muslim women. The Indo-Chic images a new age of “Orientalism” by having “beauty practice, bridal shower, or sex toy.” Also the image of Indo-Chic orientalism was even more exemplified with the single “Frozen” This lavishly iconized the fashion spreading across during the late 1990s. Also asserted in the article, the word, “Orient” is ling associated with art and aesthetic values in American Culture. Therefore marketing “indo-chic” orientalism makes it naturally appealing to many people by these “mysterious” “lavish” impressions. In the article, “Arabs, Islam and Dogmas of the West”, Orientalism is interpreted as from “Arab, Indian, Chinese, and Japanese” civilizations. However, orientalism also faces the influences of imperialism and was somewhat experiencing in numerous stereotypes.
