从伊朗人质危机到海湾战争和世界贸易中心爆炸事件，西方一直被一个叫做“伊斯兰”的幽灵所困扰。正如新闻媒体以及政府、学术界和企业专家所描绘的那样，“伊斯兰”是恐怖主义和宗教歇斯底里的同义词。与此同时，伊斯兰国家利用伊斯兰教来为不具代表性和往往是压迫性的政权辩护。在这部具有里程碑意义的作品中，他为之撰写了一个新的介绍，我们最重要的公共思想家之一研究了媒体对伊斯兰教的单一形象的起源和影响。爱德华·赛义德将政治评论与文学批评相结合，揭示了隐藏在伊斯兰世界最“客观”报道之下的假设和事实扭曲。
From the Iranian hostage crisis through the Gulf War and the World Trade Centre bombing, the West has been haunted by a spectre called 'Islam'. As portrayed by the news media - and by a chorus of government, academic and corporate experts - 'Islam' is synonymous with terrorism and religious hysteria. At the same time, Islamic countries use Islam to justify unrepresentative and often oppressive regimes. In this landmark work, for which he has written a new introduction, one of our foremost public thinkers examines the origins and repercussions of the media's monolithic images of Islam. Combining political commentary with literary criticism, Edward Said reveals the hidden assumptions and distortions of fact that underlie even the most 'objective' coverage of the Islamic world.
