In this classic work, the author of Culture and Imperialism reveals the hidden agendas and distortions of fact that underlie even the most objective coverage of the Islamic world. - With a new foreword by Laleh Khalili

No one stuyding the relations between the West and the decolonizing world can ignore Mr. Said's work. --The New York Times Book Review

From the Iranian hostage crisis through the Gulf War and the bombing of the World Trade Center, the American news media have portrayed Islam as a monolithic entity, synonymous with terrorism and religious hysteria. At the same time, Islamic countries use Islam to justify unrepresentative and often repressive regimes. Combining political commentary with literary criticism, Covering Islam continues Edward Said's lifelong investigation of the ways in which language not only describes but also defines political reality.
