Críticas:
"Jack Shaheen is a one-man anti-defamation league."
"Dr. Jack Shaheen does it again. Guilty is a fascinating social study on the relationship between racism and cinema, and ultimately, how popular entertainment has the power to propagate damaging images of misunderstood cultures or destroy them."
In this meticulously researched book, Shaheen (Reel Bad Arabs) spotlights anti???Muslim and Arab stereotypes and probes the intersections of popular culture and foreign policy. The author investigates the close ties between Hollywood studios and Washington and recounts how, historically, the strategic stereotyping of populations has been used to garner popular support for governmental policies, citing the career of Leni Riefenstahl and speeches by Lenin and Goebbels to illustrate film's long history as a propaganda vehicle. In an index of more than 100 post-9/11 films, the book depicts and debunks the most prevalent stereotypes of "reel Arabs"???"exotic camel-riding nomad," oppressed maiden, corrupt sheikh, terrorist. Dehumanizing portrayals of Arabs have real consequences, according to Shaheen; he draws correlations between the media's depiction of Arabs and the massive support for the invasion of Iraq, the "wanton" killing of Iraqi civilians and the escalating number of hate crimes against Arabs (or people who look like Arabs) in the United States...superbly readable historical survey...this book's scope and its impassioned delivery make for an insightful and rewarding read. -- PW 3/31/08 "Publishers Weekly March 31 2008"

Appearing in July of 2001, Reel Bad Arabs reviewed the rampant prejudiced stereotyping of Arab characters in Hollywood movies. Following up on that work here, Shaheen (emeritus, mass communication, Southern Illinois U.) examines the situation following the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. Not surprisingly, he catalogues continuing negative portrayals of Arabs in Hollywood films, but he does find positive portrayals in about a third of the films he reviews. He also takes stock of the situation on American television, where he finds that the Arab has become "TV's new bogeyman," and discusses possible solutions. In the second half of the book, he includes short individual discussions of each film examined. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Guilty: Hollywood's Verdict on Arabs after 9/11

Buchbeschreibung Softcover. Zustand: New. 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 Hollywoods stereotyping of Arabs. In his new book about films made after 9/11, Shaheen finds that nearly all of Hollywoods 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 governments 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.
