Jack G. Shaheen


Gisterochtend interviewde ik de Amerikaanse auteur Jack G. Shaheen over zijn boek: Reel Bad Arabs. How Hollywood Vilifies a People.

Jack Shaheen is Professor Emeritus Massa Communicatie van de Southern Illinois University, en 's werelds belangrijkste autoriteit op het gebied van mediabeelden van Arabieren.

James E. Akins, Midden-Oosten specialist and voormalig diplomaat van de Verenigde Staten, schreef over Reel Bad Arabs: 'If you think overt racism in America is dead, think again. Jack Shaheen has shown in depressing detail in his book Reel Bad Arabs, that anti-Semitism in motion pictures is more virulent than ever provides the Semites being portrayed are Arabs. Films from Exodus (1960) to Rules of Engagement (2000) have relentlessly stereotyped Arabs and Muslims in ways that would fit seamlessly into Der Stürmer and the films of Nazi Germany.'
