Reviews
With the recent launching of Al Jazeera English, this network is now in a position to offer viewers worldwide an alternative source of information and commentary in an environment that has not traditionally been receptive to independent media. Rinnawi (College of Management, Tel Aviv) provides not only an excellent examination of the Al Jazeera phenomenon, but also a much-needed analysis of the existing satellite broadcast media in the Arab world. The author demonstrates how the media has impacted politics and identities in the Arab world. He also examines how the various Arab governments attempt to regulate transnational media. Summing Up: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates through faculty. -- N. Entessar * CHOICE *
