Description for Targeted Transnationals: The State, the Media, and Arab Canadians
Hardback. This book shows how, in the post-9/11 era, Arab Canadians have become "targeted transnationals" through racialized immigration and security policies as well as negative media representations that legitimize their homogenization and racialization. Editor(s): Hennebry, Jenna; Momani, Bessma. Num Pages: 284 pages. BIC Classification: 1KBC; JFSL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 5817 x 3887. Weight in Grams: 544.
Following 9/11, the securitization of state practices and policies has chipped away at the citizenship and personal rights of all Canadians, particularly those of Arab descent. This book argues that in a securitized global context and through racialized immigration and security policies, Arab Canadians have become “targeted transnationals.” Media representations have further legitimized their homogenization and racialization. The contributors to this book examine state practices towards, and media representations of, Arab Canadians. They also present voices that counter the dominant discourse and trace forms of community resistance to the racialization of Arab Canadians.
