"It is difficult to imagine a more thoughtful, balanced, orcomprehensive treatment of this extremely elusive and difficult subject." --Digest of Middle East StudiesThis second edition of a widelyacclaimed collection of essays reports on how new media -- fax machines, satellitetelevision, and the Internet -- and the new uses of older media -- cassettes, pulpfiction, the cinema, the telephone, and the press -- shape belief, authority, andcommunity in the Muslim world. The chapters in this work, including new chaptersdealing specifically with events after September 11, 2001, concern Indonesia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, the Arabian Peninsula, and Muslim communities inthe United States and elsewhere. The extent to which today's new media havetranscended local and state frontiers and have reshaped understandings of gender, authority, social justice, identities, and politics in Muslim societies emerges fromthis timely and provocative book. |
