This book analyzes how reality television stirred an explosive mix of religion, politics, and sexuality, fuelling heated polemics over cultural authenticity, gender relations, and political participation in the Arab world. It challenges the notion of a monolithic 'Arab Street' and offers an original perspective on Arab media.
