Abstract:
"Historically, Western readers have often stereotyped Arab women as "passive" along a rigid and largely prejudicial binary of active-passive. When Arab women were traditionally portrayed in Western photojournalism, they appeared veiled and voiceless, their words spoken for them in captions and voice-overs. But where do Arab women stand in current Arab news? Are Western stereotypes reinforced or complicated?"--P. [4] of cover.
