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 $aArabs on television 606 $aMuslims on television 606 $aStereotypes (Social psychology) on television 615 0$aArabs on television. 615 0$aMuslims on television. 615 0$aStereotypes (Social psychology) on television. 676 $a305.6/970973 700 $aAlsultany$b Evelyn$01603986 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814510903321 996 $aArabs and Muslims in the Media$93928607 997 $aUNINA
