Acknowledgments
Reading the final version of this book gave me the impression that I was leafing through a photo album of friends and colleagues to whom I owe so much. Each of the chapters is the result of direct collaboration with one or more scholars and I want to thank them here. I owe the beginning of this project to Ali Behdad, who proposed "new orientalism" as a theme of reflection: he made me discover that I had an unresolved critical ax to grind with stereotypes. I would like to thank Dina Sherzer and Phil Powrie for providing the stimulus to work on films and images, and Russell King for organizing a conference on French cinema. I am grateful to Madeleine Cottenet-Hage for inviting me to explore the links between stereotypes and delinquency, to Larry Kriztman for making me think about history and stereotypes, and to Jonathan Hart for giving me a wonderful reason to think about the relationship between stereotypes and gifts. Thanks to Michel Laronde for encouraging me to work on Emile Ajar and Didier Van Cauwelaert and for his own research on stereotypes.
I much benefited from the brilliant feedback I received from colleagues and students in conferences and seminars. I particularly want to thank the group that attended the 1995 National Endowment for the Humanities summer seminar organized by Franoise Lionnet and codirected by Nelly Furman. I also want to thank the finalists at the University of Southampton and the students who enrolled in the seminar on postcolonial images at the University of Nottingham in 1996.
My gratitude also goes to scholars whose work I have learned to respect and admire while working on this book. Sander Gilman's books have accompanied each step of my research and inspired the whole project in many uncountable ways. I also want to thank Ruth Amossy, Pierre Barbris, Jean-Louis Dufays, Frank Felsenstein, Alain Goulet, and Christian Plantin. And special thanks to Richard Dyer (a question of wavelength). I am much indebted to the work of Houston Baker, Homi Bhabha, Leo Bersani, Judith Butler, Paul Gilroy, and Gayatri Spivak, constant sources of inspiration and reflection. I much appreciated the trust and intellectual support I received from my editors, Mary Jean Green, Lynn Higgins, and Phyllis Deutsch. And I am grateful to Timothy Mennel for his meticulous copy-editing and elegant initiatives.
