Book Description
It is amazing to think that in an age where information is quite literally at one's fingertips, ignorance of the diversity of the world is rampant. According to Dr. Jack Shaheen, unawareness of the lives of Arab peoples in particular becomes apparent through the study of the use of mass media in American culture. How does the American media portray the Arab countries and the Muslim faith? Furthermore, how do the American people react to such a depiction? Are there any solutions to the obstacles created? Such questions are thoroughly examined and discussed in Shaheen's booklet, "Arab and Muslim Stereotyping in American Popular Culture."
About the Author

Shaheen, a Fulbright scholar and CBS News consultant on Middle East affairs, has lectured on five continents and throughout the United States. He has been a guest speaker at many universities, including Amherst, Harvard, Emory, and Oxford, and has spoken at the United Nations as well as the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
