Covering Islam By Edward W. Said
In Covering Islam (1981), Edward W. Said argues that Western media, scholars, and policymakers have constructed a dangerously oversimplified and monolithic image of Islam, often reducing a diverse global faith to a synonym for terrorism and religious hysteria. Building on his concept of Orientalism, Said examines how historical crises—such as the Iranian hostage crisis and the Gulf War—were framed to serve Western political and economic interests rather than to provide objective reporting. He highlights a collaborative network of "experts" and corporate media that ignores the human density and cultural complexity of Muslim societies, effectively dehumanizing them to justify military or political intervention. Ultimately, the book serves as a critique of how language and media power define political reality, calling for a more critical, nuanced, and empathetic understanding of the Islamic world.
Culture and resistance describes the use of cultural practices to challenge and oppose dominant power structures and oppressive systems. This form of resistance, distinct from overt political action or armed conflict, operates symbolically through art, music, literature, and everyday customs to challenge oppression and affirm identity.

Daybreak in Gaza: Stories of Palestinian Lives and Culture, edited by Mahmoud Muna and Matthew Teller, is an anthology that offers an intimate, humanizing look at the daily lives, enduring culture, and resilience of people in Gaza, aiming to counteract the dehumanizing narratives prevalent in global media. Through a collection of personal stories, vignettes, poems, and eyewitness accounts from a diverse cast of Gazans—including artists, doctors, students, and shopkeepers—the book provides a window into a vibrant society that treasures joy, creativity, and heritage despite the profound challenges of ongoing conflict. The collection acts as both a celebration of four thousand years of Gazan history and a poignant act of cultural preservation, presenting a powerful counter-narrative that insists on the dignity and humanity of its people.
