Media Reviews
This work should find a home in any library serving undergraduates, possibly in both the reference and circulating collections. It may also be helpful for general adult audiences in public libraries. - Library Journal
A unique feature of this book is that it does try to present pop culture as Arabs see it, rather than as Westerners see it. . . . Given this work's depth and coverage, it would make a good initial reference work for undergraduates studying Arab pop culture. - ARBAonline
The entries' broad range of topics and detailed sources for further reading should interest scholars at all levels. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Beginning students through researchers/faculty; general readers. - Choice
