Covering Islam
How the Media and the Experts Determine How We See the Rest of the World (Fully Revised Edition)
Sinopsis
From the Iranian hostage crisis through the Gulf War and the World Trade Centre bombing, the West has been haunted by a spectre called Islam. As portrayed by the news media - and by a chorus of government, academic and corporate experts - Islam is synonymous with terrorism and religious hysteria. At the same time, Islamic countries use Islam to justify unrepresentative and often oppressive regimes.
In this landmark work, for which he has written a new introduction, one of our foremost public thinkers examines the origins and repercussions of the medias monolithic images of Islam. Combining political commentary with literary criticism, Edward Said reveals the hidden assumptions and distortions of fact that underlie even the most objective coverage of the Islamic world.
