It examines the representation of three Australian productions: \u003ci\u003eEast West 101\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Combination\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCedar Boys\u003c\/i\u003e. Since 2007 Australia has seen a notable increase in the inclusion of Arab and Muslim male characters in various serials and films, but what do these inclusions mean for the place of Arab and Muslim men in Australia today? This book seeks to understand how these representations are constructed and whether they are as progressive and edgy as producers and media responses would suggest. This book explores the extent to which cultural productions such as \u003ci\u003eEast West 101\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Combination\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCedar Boys\u003c\/i\u003e open up a space for new understandings of the place of Arab and Muslim Australians in contemporary Australia. Importantly it considers the role of the Special Broadcasting Service in the plight of anti-racism.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Islamic Studies Series - Volume 23","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47242314219678,"sku":"HPC-9780522872187","price":52.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780522872187.jpg?v=1780361219","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780522872187","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
