Targeted Transnationals: The State, the Media, and Arab Canadians

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.
