| Abstract: |
Dr. Jack G. Shaheen (1935-2017) was a professor, author, and consultant who dedicated
his career to identifying and contesting stereotypes of Arabs and Muslims in American
media. The Jack G. Shaheen Papers date from 1943 to 2012 and document Shaheen's scholarly
and popular writing and research in media analysis; his media accountability activism
through the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC); and his consultation
work on legal cases as well as the entertainment industry. The collection includes
printed and born-digital draft and revised writings, speeches, notes, research and
subject files, reports, correspondence, and sound and video recordings of Shaheen's
speeches. The collection also contains material collected by Shaheen, including comic
books; editorial cartoons; recordings of movies, television shows, and cartoons; magazines;
posters; advertisements; toys; games; and other ephemera, which depict Arabs and Muslims
in American popular culture and mass media from the late 19th to the 21st centuries.
