Islamic Peril - Karim H. Karim
media and global violence
KORTE INHOUD
Winner of the 2001 Robinson Book Prize for Excellence in Journalism 'Islamic Peril' explores the lack of historical and cultural understanding in the mass media as it studies coverage of conflicts involving Muslims in the Middle East, the Caucasus, the Balkans and the West, and demonstrates the resilience of core European images of Muslims that have continued to recur in depictions of Islam for over a millennium.
Karim balances theory with facts and critiques the simplistic, and often biased, Western media interpretations of a range of complex issues associated with Islam such as 'jihad', terrorism and the social construction od Islam as the new, post Soviet global threat.
