Covering Islam: How the Media and the Experts Determine How We See the Rest of the World Tapa blanda - 1997
de Edward W. Said
From the Iranian hostage crisis through the Gulf War and the bombing of the World Trade Center, the American news media have portrayed "Islam" as a monolithic entity, synonymous with terrorism and religious hysteria. In this classic work, now updated, the author of "Culture and Imperialism" reveals the hidden agendas and distortions of fact that underlie even the most "objective" coverage of the Islamic world.
Descripción de contraportada
In this landmark work, for which he has written a new Introduction, one of our foremost public thinkers examines to origins and repercussions of the media's 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. In so doing, Covering Islam continues Said's lifelong investigation of the ways in which language not only describes but also defines political reality.
