At The Same Time, Islamic Countries Use Islam To Justify Unrepresentative And Often Oppressive Regimes. In This Landmark Work, For Which He Has Written A New Introduction, One Of Our Foremost Public Thinkers Examines The Origins And Repercussions Of The Media's Monolithic Images Of Islam. Combining Political Commentary With Literary Criticism, Edward Said Reveals The Hidden Assumptions And Distortions Of Fact That Underlie Even The Most 'objective' Coverage Of The Islamic World.
