English Novels About Arabs (1973-1998) :
An Annotated Bibliography
Abstract
Literature has always played
a significant role in shaping public opinion and influencing decision making in
the West. This is particularly true in maintaining an unsympathetic attitude
towards the Arabs and the Muslims. By
propagating certain myths and exaggerations about the Arabs, some of the
Western novelists, consciously or unconsciously, have reinforced a hostile
public thinking about the Arabs. The absence of works that address and refute
these myths made things worse for the misinformed public in the West. By
listing and providing some information about some of these novels, the present
bibliography encourages interested researchers to address and study these
books.
The great
difficulties of finding information and/or locating novels about Arabs or Arab
countries have led to the compilation this bibliography which covers a span of
twenty-five years beginning with 1973 and ending with
1998. It includes novels written originally
in English with no translations at all. The Novels are simply listed in a
chronological order beginning with the books of 1973 and ending with those of
1998. Most of the novels are followed by short summaries of their plots or a
statement about their themes. It is also indicated if there is a later edition
or a reprint. During each single year, the entries are arranged alphabetically
by author, and at the end of the bibliography there are three indices: a title index , an author index and an index for the locations
mentioned in the bibliography.
الرويات التي كتبت عن العرب باللغة الإنجليزية ( 1973 – 1998 م )
سرد مفرود بالحواشي
ملخص
منذ العصور الوسطى والأدب يلعب دوراً رئيساً في نشر الصور النمطية السيئة
عن العرب والمسلمين بين القراء في الغرب. وقد لاقت الروايات التي
تسئ للعرب رواجاً كبيراً في العقود الثلاثة الماضية وأصبحت تتصدر مبيعات
الكتب في وقتٍ يكثر فيه الحديث عن العولمة والسلام العالمي. وفي ظل غياب الأعمال
المنصفة للعرب فإن هذه الروايات سيكون لها دورٌ كبيرٌ في تكريس الصورة القاتمة
للعرب وعالمهم في أذهان القراء في الغرب. ونظراً للحاجة الملحة إلى الإطلاع على
هذه الأعمال وتصحيح ما فيها من مغالطات فإن الحاجة ماسةٌ إلى عملٍ يحوي المعلومات
اللازمة عن هذه الروايات ويقدم نبذةً
مختصرة عن محتوى تلك الكتب ليكون ذلك في متناول الباحثين والمهتمين بهذا
المجال مستقبلاً. البحث الذي بين أيدينا يجمع الروايات التي تعرضت للعرب وقد نشرت
بين 1973م - 1998م باللغة الإنجليزية أصلاً ولا يشمل الأعمال المترجمة
.
وقد رتبت هذه الروايات حسب التسلسل الزمني
مبتدئاً بالروايات التي نشرت في عام 1973 و منتهياً بالأعمال التي صدرت في 1998
علماً بأني بعد ذلك رتبت الروايات الخاصة
بكل عام ترتيباً أبجدياً. لا بد من الإشارة أن هناك بعض الروايات التي لم أتمكن
بعد من الحصول على شرحٍ عنها ولكني أوردتها لتعم الفائدة وهناك في آخر البحث ثلاث فهارس: أحدها
يختص بأسماء المؤلفين والثاني بحسب عنوان الرواية والأخير للأماكن المذكورة في
ثنايا الدراسة.
Introduction
The differences
in cultural and religious backgrounds and the confrontations in battles have all
contributed to the development of a hostile Western attitude towards the Arabs
and the Muslims. Unfortunately, literature played a significant role in
aggravating these differences by propagating distorted ,
negative images of the Arab and the Muslim world. A closer look at these demeaning
images reveals a persistent absence of logic and a great tendency to
exaggerate and falsify. It will be tedious to go over examples from all
centuries but it suffices to mention some of the earliest distortions. For
instance, in Medieval literature, the Arabs were
referred to as “heretics”, “heathens” and “Saracens”. In “Chansons De Geste”,
popular songs of the Middle Ages, the Saracens, meaning the Arabs, are
presented as people who:
Spend
their lives in hating and mocking at Christ and destroying his churches, they
hate God and constantly placing themselves under the protection of Satan….[M]any of them are giants, whole tribes have horns on their
heads, others are black as devils. They rush into battle making noises
comparable to the barking of dogs…they use slaves, they eat their prisoners,
they buy and sell their womenfolk and they practice polygamy…1
The absence of logic and the distortion of
reality are very
obvious in the above quoted lines. Describing the Muslims as people who hate
and mock Christ, destroy churches, hate God, place themselves under the
protection of Satan are all attempts to arouse the anger and abhorrence of the
Christian readers. That the Arabs have
horns, eat their prisoners and sell their womenfolk are attempts to ridicule
them and deprive them of their humanity.
Two more
significant works should be mentioned in this regards: Dante’s Divine Comedy (1310) and
Marlow’s Tumberlaine (1590). The former contributed a great deal to the
defamation of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and
his followers. Dante placed the Prophet (Peace be upon him) near the bottom of
the Inferno, below the lustful, the gluttonous, and the heretical. Prejudices
of the Middle Ages became more consolidated in the Elizabethan Literature which
emphasized “sensuality”,
“cruelty”, and “lack of restraint” as the main characteristics of the “Turks”.
In Marlow’s Tumberlaine, the Arab betrays his own gods if they do not fulfill
his material and wordly ambitions. The “cruelty”, “sensuality” and “inability
to restrain” found in Tumberlaine are still common themes in novels about the
Arabs.
However, the
present day interest in the Arab world is closely connected with the political,
strategic and economic significance of the region. The Cold War, the Arab-Israeli
conflict, the anxiety about the supply of oil, the Iranian Revolution, the 1983
bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in
With so much talk
about Globalization and World Peace at the beginning of the twenty first
century, it is high time that the Arabs take more positive steps toward
dispelling such myths which eventually will have unfavorable effects on
political, economic, and military decisions concerning the Arab world. Since
the things we read become part of our philosophy and shape our perception of
things, more should be done towards understanding the nature of the works which
contributed towards the making of the mentality of the present day Western
reader. In other words, the contemporary Western attitude towards the Arabs is,
in part, a result of habitual reading of works which are unfair to the Arabs.
Due to its popularity, the novel, in all its sub-genres, is the literary form
that has done most of the damage to the image of the Arabs in the West. A look
at excerpts from some of these books is adequate to show the amount of
misinformation and brainwashing that has, consciously or unconsciously, been
done to generations of popular fiction Western readers in regards to the Arab
or Muslim world.
Most of the
novels of the seventies, for instance, portray the Arabs as enemies not only of
the
Some
novels of the 1970s show that Arab terrorism goes beyond the
In addition to
these common themes, the novels of the eighties suggest the West’s recognition
of their dependence on the Arab oil and their fear of being, someday, under the
mercy of united Arab or Muslim power. The resurgent Islam seems to have fueled
this fear. In Green Monday (1980) greedy rich Arabs use advanced
technology to cut the prices of crude oil thus pulling the rug from under a
The concept of a
united Arab world is also suggested in the publishing, in the eighties, of four
novels dealing with the Islamic idea of the Mahdi. The first one is The
Mahdi (1981) in which the Western intelligence services plant their own
agent in
The novels of the
nineties are dominated by themes related to the Second Gulf War. The Invasion
of Kuwait seems to have renewed the West’s anxiety over oil resources. In Jihad:
World War in 2036 (1995) The Faithful, a group of
However, most of
the books of the nineties deal with a number of themes related to
The inflow of
such popular novels reinforces the negative image of the Arabs which has become
part of the Western readers’ philosophy and perception of what an Arab is. In
the absence of books that do justice to the Arabs or the Arab world, these
popular novels will certainly deepen Western prejudices about not only the
Arabs but the whole Muslim world. This bibliography is an attempt to make these
novels available for future research. It certainly compliments two valuable
predecessors, albeit limited ones. The first one is Arabs in Popular Fiction
Published in the U.S.A (1919-1973): An Annotated Bibliography by Dr.
Muhammad Mansour Abahsain (1987).
However, Abahsain’s study is limited to “popular fiction” which is
“published in the
The present
bibliography covers the twenty-five years between 1973 and 1998. The former
year is very significant because it is associated with the oil embargo which
made real the ever haunting fear of an Arab oil shut
off. The scope of this study is certainly wider than its predecessors: it
includes both popular fiction
and well-established works published in the
The
sudden, obvious popularity of thrillers and spy novels has recently begun to
pique scholarly interest over a literary genre hitherto not taken seriously but
labeled grossly as “pulp” literature….more than one quarter of all fiction
books published each year are “sensational” novels….more people read Ian
Fleming, Robert Ludlum, and Helen MacInnes than have ever read Shakespeare or
Flaubert.2
The second reason
for including these novels is that they are just as influential in the
formation of the readers’ perception about Arabs. Indeed, Janice Terry in her
book Mistaken Identity, asserts
that because these novels are sold almost everywhere, jacked in eye-catching
covers and extensively publicized in daily newspapers, they “affect public
opinion far more than works that might have more literary or scholarly merit”.3
Only works
written originally in English are included. It would have been impossible to
include works translated from different languages into English. In the body of
the bibliography, the novels are simply listed chronologically beginning with
1973 and going on to 1998. for each year, the novels
are arranged alphabetically by author. Most of the novels are followed by a
short description of their main themes or brief summary of the plot. Finally,
there are author and title indices at the end of the study. It is hoped that
this bibliography may help guide future research about the portrayal of Arabs
in English literature.

In sum, this
study makes clear a number of interesting points. First, it indicates that
there has been an increase in the publication of such novels. While the
seventies and the
eighties claim sixty two and sixty three novels respectively, the eight years
of the nineties have produced a hundred and thirty nine novels. The increase in
the number of books printed suggests a growing interest in the Arab world.
However, the fact that more novels of this kind are read means that the dark
picture of the Arabs will get even darker in the minds of the Western readers.
In other words, the increase in the number of books defaming Arabs in the
nineties accords with the “Clash of Civilizations” philosophy. In the late
eighties the communist world collapsed and the cold war came to an end. Thus,
it is possible that these novels may have been pushing for establishing “Islam”
or the “Arabs” as the new Universal Enemy. For the purposes of this paper I
would say the Arabs because the general public in the West often uses the two
terms interchangeably
The second point
made clear by this study is the tremendous amount of distrust and fear that
these novels must have created in the minds of their readers in the West. Reading at least synopsis
of these works show that the picture is much darker than we suppose. The
novels of the seventies, for example, are dominated by the Arabs’ aggressive
acts of terror. A closer look at the annotations of the novels of the seven
years of this decade proves the dominance of verbs like “hijack, “assassinate”,
“kidnap”, and “blow up”. It is worth noting that while the culprits are always
the Arabs, it
is often the Israelis who foil the plots and save the victims. One can imagine
the Western readers’ apprehension at the possibility of these brutal Arabs
getting united and then laying their hands on nuclear weapons. This study has
shown that the novels of the eighties are dominated by the idea of a nuclear
united Arab world. This decade, for instance, witnessed the birth of four
novels about the Mahdi who symbolizes the unity of not only the Arabs but also
the whole Muslim world. In some of the novels which do not have the Mahdi, the
writers use a political Arab figure to pose as the evil director of Arab
terrorism against the West. While the eighties present Qaddafi as the worst of
enemies, the nineties introduce Saddam Hussein as the main cause of alarm and
fear in the West. The eight years of the nineties saw the publication of
fifteen novels portraying Saddam as an on going menace to the West. Whether the
villain is called
Qaddafi, Almahdi or Saddam what remains in the minds of the
general public is the nightmarish nature of the so-called Arab culture.
Finally, this
study proves that the most persistent theme in all the three decades is the
West’s great concern for the safety of
It is up to the
Arabs, in particular, and the Muslims in general to take some more positive
steps towards adjusting these distortions. The Arab intelligentsia may make
better use of satellite channels and the Internet to present the Arabs and
their issues in a more favorable way.
More importantly, we should realize the vital role literature plays in
the shaping of public thinking. Hopefully, this bibliography will draw the
attention towards the fact that literature does not only imitate but also
sometimes creates life.
