About This Book

Media do not reflect: media refract. In the United States, established and enduring prisms of prejudice about the projected "Middle East" are mediated through popular culture, broadcast news, government mission statements and official maps.This mediationserves to assert political boundaries and construct the United States as heroic against a villainous or victimized Middle East.These problematic maps and narratives are persistent over time and prevalent across genre, with clear consequences evidenced by the rise indiscriminatory sentiments in the US population and experiences of harm in US Arab and Muslim communities. Exploring a wide range of media, Karin Gwinn Wilkins illuminates the shape and scope of these narratives and explores ways tocounter these prisms of prejudice through informed and engaged strategic intervention in critical communication literacy.
