Description

';Nothing will be the same again.' Americans scarred by the experience of 9/11 often express this sentiment.

But what remains the same, argues Jack Shaheen, is Hollywood's stereotyping of Arabs.

In his new book about films made after 9/11, Shaheen finds that nearly all of Hollywood's post-9/11 films legitimize a view of Arabs as stereotyped villains and the use of Arabs and Muslims as shorthand for the ';Enemy' or ';Other.' Along with an examination of a hundred recent movies, Shaheen addresses the cultural issues at play since 9/11: the government's public relations campaigns to win ';hearts and minds' and the impact of 9/11 on citizens and on the imagination.

He suggests that winning the ';war on terror' would take shattering the centuries-old stereotypes of Arabs, and frames the solutions needed to begin to tackle the problem and to change the industry and culture at large.
