Rezensionen

"The book, written by a deeply engaged and multi-disciplinary Saudi scholar, examines how the Kingdom has been depicted by Western media outlets - specifically, the London Times and the New York Times - throughout the twentieth century. The book is recommended for those interested in the representational dimension of Saudi Arabia's relationship with the West, as well as the ways in which the political and economic imperatives of Western actors, at different junctures, have shaped the coverage surrounding its domestic and foreign policies. Though focused on the past century, the book's findings resonate with the current moment."
