Media Research Project

“The primary objective of the ADC-RI Media Research Project is to research, track, and document anti-Arab and Islamophobic bias in the media, public discourse, and from public officials. This tracking project will serve as a resource tool which will highlight the prevalence of bias and bigotry. The project will expose xenophobia and hatred that target minorities in the U.S., particularly Arab and Muslim Americans.
The project will also celebrate achievements of Arabs and Muslims from around the world.”

New study examines everyday life, challenges of Chicago area Arab Americans

by Jasmine Hawamdeh

A new study from the University of Illinois Chicago examines racial experiences for Arab Americans in the Chicago area. This radio interview with Reset, featuring Nadine Naber, professor of gender and women’s studies and global Asian studies at UIC, and Nadiah Alyafai, youth and political organizer at the Arab American Action Network, detail the report’s findings.

One especially illuminating  finding is that many Arab Americans would like to be able to check something other than “white” on official forms.
