Book Synopsis

This timely work discusses the role of Arab transnational media in the emergence of a new pan-Arabism. McArabism, the author suggests, represents the convergence of local tribal identities with globalization and the forming, or reforming, of a new regional Arab identity. The book explores the emergence of McArabism and its impact on Arab society, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and new representations of the West and the Islamic and Arab World.
