Instant Nationalism: McArabism, al-Jazeera, and Transnational Media
in the Arab World discusses the role of Arab transnational media,
in particular the Qatar-based al-Jazeera, in the emergence of a new
pan-Arabism. The book argues that through context and technology a
new pan-Arab identity known as McArabism is being formed.
McArabism, the author suggests, represents the convergence of local
tribal identities with globalization and the forming, or reforming,
of a new regional Arab identity. This book also explores the impact
of this new identity on Arab society, the Arab-Israeli conflict,
and new representations of the West and the Islamic and Arab World.
