Discusses the role of Arab transnational media in the emergence of pan-Arabism. This book explores the emergence of McArabism, a pan-Arab identity representing the convergence of local tribal identities with globalization and McArabism's impact on Arab society, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and various representations of the West and the Arab World.
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.
