Filthy Rich Arabs
When the heir to a trillion-dollar oil empire tosses a Rolls-Royce to a stranger, he expects applause—not the scorn of a Syrian doctor who counts the cost of every luxury in lives lost. Zaid Al-Zahrani has mansions, yachts, and a hollowed soul. Dr. Layla Hassan has only what she can build with her hands: clinics for the displaced. Their chance meeting in Dubai becomes a collision of love and conscience. But the family fortune is a target. A vengeful cousin trades secrets to shadowy powers; a rival prince stokes a campaign of ruin. With assassins at the gates and billions at stake, Zaid must choose: cling to inherited cruelty—or remake his dynasty into something that might save lives. Sweeping, morally fierce, and cinematic—perfect for readers of Succession and international family sagas.

A groundbreaking book that dissects a slanderous history dating from cinema’s earliest days to contemporary Hollywood blockbusters that feature machine-gun wielding and bomb-blowing "evil" Arabs Award-winning film authority Jack G. Shaheen, noting that only Native Americans have been more relentlessly smeared on the silver screen, painstakingly makes his case that "Arab" has remained Hollywood’s shameless shorthand for "bad guy," long after the movie industry has shifted its portrayal of other minority groups. In this comprehensive study of over one thousand films, arranged alphabetically in such chapters as "Villains," "Sheikhs," "Cameos," and "Cliffhangers," Shaheen documents the tendency to portray Muslim Arabs as Public Enemy #1—brutal, heartless, uncivilized Others bent on terrorizing civilized Westerners. Shaheen examines how and why such a stereotype has grown and spread in the film industry and what may be done to change Hollywood’s defamation of Arabs.
