Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People | ||
| Jack Shaheen | |||
| Olive Branch Press, 2001, paperback, 574 pp. | |||
| Underscores the prejudice against and insensitivity to Arabs in American films. Rather than denouncing Hollywood's stereotypes of Arabs, Shaheen documents them by examining more than 1,000 film plots and scripts. While the vilification of Arabs in film is nothing new, this examination of the phenomenon is. As one reviewer said, "Anybody concerned about education, racial justice, democracy, and critical literacy should buy and read this book, and then pass it on to a friend." | |||

Legacy of the Prophet: Despots, Democrats, and the New Politics of Islam (Updated ed.) | ||
| Anthony Shadid | |||
| Westview Press, 2002, paperback, 340 pp. | |||
| Legacy of the Prophet offers a rare but much needed counterpoint to the constant news of terrorism: that Islamic activists have increasingly renounced violence in order to form political parties, engage in grassroots work, and enter into civil society to bring about peaceful reform in their authoritarian societies. Drawing on years of personal experience, Pulitzer-winner Shadid chronicles this new generation, finding a more realistic and potentially more successful future through democratic politics. With a new introduction and epilogue. | |||

West Beirut | ||
| Ziad Doueiri | |||
| 3B Productions/La Sept Arte, 2001, 105 min., VHS. | |||
| Captures the sociopolitical climate during the early days of the Lebanese Civil War with remarkable accuracy and subtlety. The film is not a history lesson, but rather zooms in on the texture of daily life in Beirut in 1975. Telling the story of wartime Lebanon through the eyes of teenagers allows Doueiri to focus on the fundamentally disorienting experience of living in a splintering society. The film also proves that humor can be an indispensible tool for survival. Winner of International Critics Prize at the Toronto International Film Fesitval and the Directors Fortnight at Cannes. | |||
