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

5.0

One of the best books I've ever read, no question. Wow. Although it was published in 1981, IMO it's more relevant to today's issues (ISIS, the Arab Spring, Israel/Palestine, etc.) than 99% of contemporary writings. I started underlining sentences/paragraphs that I thought were particularly poignant, but ended up underlining almost the entire book - I know that sounds cliche, but truly almost every sentence made me want to stop reading and just go ponder in a corner somewhere...
