  • Illuminating 100 Years of Muslim Tropes and How to Transform Them (The Visual Companion)
    Haqq and Hollywood: Illuminating 100 years of Muslim Tropes And How to Transform Them (The Visual Companion) Author: Maytha Alhassen, Ph.D. Produced and Published by: Pop Culture Collaborative – October 2018 A TALE OF TWO TROPES On November 25, 1992, a film opened with these lyrics, carried by a haunting melody: Oh, I come from a land From a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam. Where they cut off your ear MALCOLM X (1992) If they don't like your face It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home. This animated Disney film, Aladdin, was the highest grossing film of 1992, netting over half a billion dollars at the box office. These lyrics were changed in the film’s 1993 VHS release due to efforts by the American-Arab Anti- Discrimination Committee (ADC) to “Where it’s flat and immense and the heat is intense, it’s barbaric, but hey it’s home.” One week prior, on November 18, 1992, producer and director Spike Lee released a film that changed the discourse on Muslims and Islam: Malcolm X. Islam, at least in the Black American Muslim experience, was recast as a source of social good and moral uplift. Malcolm X, at the time of its release, was one of the few positive portrayals of Muslims and Islam in American cinema. Sourced from what historian Zaheer Ali describes as an “intimate knowledge of Black life,” Malcolm X and other (mostly independent) Black-produced films in the early ‘90s wrote Muslim characters into ensemble storytelling projects as community ‘Redeemers. ‘ Introduction ALADDIN (1992) HOLLYWOOD’S HISTORY WITH MUSLIM TROPES Since its early days, Hollywood has had a consistently negative approach to portrayals and narratives of Muslims—with dangerous political and societal consequences.

Her work bridges the worlds of social justice, academic research, media engagement, and artistic expression. In Fall 2017, she was awarded a Pop Culture Collaborative Senior Fellowship to lead a project to create and popularize authentic narratives for Muslims in popular culture. Alhassen wrote for and performed in the internationally touring play Hijabi Monologues (composed of experiences by Muslim women) and worked with the arts-based social justice organization Blackout Arts Collective facilitating creative literacy workshops with incarcerated youth at Rikers Island in New York City, assisting in organizing a Hip Hop Film Festival in the prison’s high school, and writing an introduction for an anthology of the youth’s poetry and visual art. As a poet, actress, and speaker, Alhassen has performed at the Kennedy Center, Shrine Auditorium, on the TED stage, at South by Southwest in 2010 and 2012, and at many universities. In 2015, Alhassen established and designed the Social Justice Institute, in collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs at Occidental College, to train fellows in social justice practice. Previously, she served as a 2014 core steering committee member of Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative (MuslimARC). In 2018, she began leading a campaign with three other Muslim women scholars to mobilize the Muslim community around ending mass incarceration and money bail called Believers Bail Out; the initiative was profiled by Chicago Tribune and Teen Vogue.

Himberg said, “The 2013 Theatre Lab Fellows have stories to tell, stories about African immigrants, and gay heroes, and Yiddish authors and Palestinian teachers: stories which throw new lenses on our diverse and complicated world. By providing the necessary resources and freedom for these artists to explore, each playwright both contributes to and benefits from an engaging and productive creative environment.” Participants include: ACTING COMPANY Uzo Aduba (Venice, Godspell), Maechi Aharanwa (Classical Theatre of Harlem), Tala Ashe, Brendan Averett, Jordan Baker (Suddenly Last Summer, Three Tall Women, Another Earth), David Cale (The History of Kisses, Palomino), Jackie Chung, Holley Fain (Harvey, Present Laughter), Ari Graynor (Nick
