Levy Collection book		Covering Islam : how the media and the experts determine how we see the rest of the world / Edward W. Said London: Random House, 1997. Call No: 408.3(5-011) SAI Author: Edward W.

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 repressive 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 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." - BOOK BLURB Notes: contains index ISBN: 009959501x Donation: donated by the family of Wayne Levy, 2006 More info
