Covering Islam: How the Media and the Experts Determine How We See the Rest of the World is Edward Said’s critical examination of how Western media and political institutions portray Islam and the Muslim world. Building on themes from his earlier work Orientalism, Said argues that biased narratives and selective reporting distort public perception, reducing a diverse and complex culture to monolithic stereotypes. With incisive analysis, he exposes how these portrayals serve geopolitical interests and reinforce systems of power. The book is a powerful call to question media narratives and seek deeper, more informed understandings of cultures often viewed through a narrow, politicized lens.
