Thesis (Ph.D.)--The George Washington University, 2016.

This dissertation considers the possibility of a transnational mode of listening based on musical relationships between the U.S. and the Middle East. Through a set of four case studies, the project argues that music has been a key site of cultural encounter between the U.S. and Arab culture. The first chapter undertakes a study of postwar exotica music, arguing for a nuanced understanding of music involving early Arab American performers. The second chapter investigates the iconic jazz musician Sun Ra's sonic engagement with ancient Egypt, arguing that Ra's music embodies an Afro-Orientalist aesthetic. The third chapter analyzes the role of world music from the Middle East and the politics of affiliation in the 1990s, and the final chapter performs a study of Arab American hip hop as a counter-Orientalist form. This research contributes to a better understanding of the complexities of U.S.-Middle East relationships by suggesting that the categories of "Arab" and "American" are linked via a flexible sonic imaginary that incorporates the two cultures. Secondly, it highlights the interplay between musical production and ethnic and national identities, and finally, it rethinks critical examination based on visual analysis, instead emphasizing sonic perception.
