Covering Islam: How the Media and the Experts Determine How We See the Rest of the World by Edward W. Said

5.0

Covering Islam by Edward Said is an enlightening critique of the Western media’s portrayal of Islam. Said brilliantly unpacks the concept of ‘Orientalism’ and how it leads to a distorted and oversimplified view of the Islamic world. The book challenges readers to question these stereotypes and seek a more nuanced understanding. An essential read for those interested in media studies, cultural interpretation, and Islamic perspectives.
