Arabs and Muslims in the Media examines this paradox and investigates the increase of sympathetic images of ?the enemy? during the War on Terror. Evelyn Alsultany explains that a new standard in racial and cultural representations emerged out of the multicultural movement of the 1990s that involves balancing a negative representation with a positive one, what she refers to as ?simplified complex representations.? This has meant that if the storyline of a TV drama or film represents an Arab or Muslim as a terrorist, then the storyline also includes a ?positive? representation of an Arab, Muslim, Arab American, or Muslim American to offset the potential stereotype. Analyzing how TV dramas such as West Wing, The Practice, 24, Threat Matrix, The Agency, Navy NCIS, and Sleeper Cell, news-reporting, and non-profit advertising have represented Arabs, Muslims, Arab Americans, and Muslim Americans during the War on Terror, this book demonstrates how more diverse representations do not in themselves solve the problem of racial stereotyping and how even seemingly positive images can produce meanings that can justify exclusion and inequality. 410 0$aCritical Cultural Communication 606 $aTelevision programs$zUnited States$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aStereotypes (Social psychology) on television 606 $aMuslims on television 606 $aArabs on television 615 0$aTelevision programs$xHistory 615 0$aStereotypes (Social psychology) on television. 615 0$aMuslims on television. 615 0$aArabs on television. 676 $a305.6/970973 700 $aAlsultany$b Evelyn$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01507111 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785556703321 996 $aArabs and Muslims in the Media$93737585 997 $aUNINA
