Date Issued:

Summary:
This textual analysis of the film Not Without My Daughter examines the discourse of empire contained within this movie. Specifically, I analyze representations of Islam, Arab people, and blackness within the context of the traditional literary elements of narration as presented in the film through the use of mise en scene and cinematography. I define, identify, and analyze types of colonial discourse such as negation and affirmation. In addition, I make the argument that another type of colonial discourse at play, war-nography, defines the film within a specific genre.
