On the other hand, there has been a strong romantic tradition (symbolised by Lawrence of Arabia) of affiliation with the Arabs in their struggles against the Ottomans. As a result, an Orientalist racialised discourse (Said, 1985[1978]; 1993) has constructed the Arabs as the exotic 'Others', a representation in which cruelty, sensuality, nobleness and sexuality were intertwined. The ambiguity towards 'the Arab' has not simply concerned colour, but also that of the Arabs' 'postcolonial status'. The British actually ruled over many Arab countries, but there was no significant British settlement in the Arab world, which was officially part of the Ottoman empire, until after the First World War.
