By deconstructing the soundscape into various 'Arabscapes' samples of Arabic music in house and techno tracks, examples of Arabic language performance, Orientalist conversations, and sonic responses that jam Orientalist messages, Fulton-Melanson argues that Arabscapes 'sound' the Arab diaspora in multicultural Canada in the way they unveil the experience of memory and nostalgia, presence and absence, racism and (mis)interpellation, and the various subtle realities that one must consider when ethically navigating such cultural complexities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jillian Fulton-Melanson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.40w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771127080","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45463105765513,"sku":"9781771127080","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_4e5f73b1-a476-48bd-8a05-bebf0242c0ac.jpg?v=1774996869","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/arab-techno-for-the-people-sonic-responses-to-orientalism-in-toronto-and-montreal-9781771127080","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
