In this classic work, now updated, the author of Culture and Imperialism reveals the hidden agendas and distortions of fact that underlie even the most "objective" coverage of the Islamic world.

From the Iranian hostage crisis through the Gulf War and the bombing of the World Trade Center, the American news media have portrayed "Islam" as a monolithic entity, synonymous with terrorism and religious hysteria. At the same time, Islamic countries use "Islam" to justify unrepresentative and often repressive regimes. Combining political commentary with literary criticism, Covering Islam continues Edward Said's lifelong investigation of the ways in which language not only describes but also defines political reality.

Not for anyone who has a sensitive nose.
Smooth feel and very moisturizing. Product needs to be washed out of hair and the aroma is over powering to the point where it did not agree with me. I will not buy this again.

Wait to see
I am just starting to use it and I have to use it for a couple of weeks to help me know if it’s works but what I notice after applying it to my hair it’s just makes it so smooth and soft
