Description
Book SynopsisHow today's newest media are reshaping Muslim societies.
Trade Review[T]he contributors to this collection have convincingly placed the forces of change introduced into Muslim societies by the modern media in precisely the right context-at the center of cultural developments. It is difficult to imagine a more thoughtful, balanced, or comprehensive treatment of this extremely elusive and difficult subject.Summer 2000
