Więcej o książce

Focusing on Hollywood's portrayal of Arabs post-9/11, the book critiques the persistent stereotyping that depicts them as villains and the "Other." Jack Shaheen analyzes a hundred recent films, revealing how they reinforce negative perceptions and the cultural implications of these portrayals. He discusses the government's efforts to reshape public opinion and the broader societal impact of 9/11. Shaheen argues that overcoming these deep-rooted stereotypes is essential for winning the "war on terror" and offers solutions for transforming both the film industry and cultural attitudes.
