It's a really good anthology of articles written by academic refuting some of the more pernicious myths still present in the west (by propaganda and accepted prejudice). It's edited by Edward Said (Palestinian super academic) and Christopher Hitchens (before he became a militant atheist and Bush lapdog) and is peaty good. It's dated, but a lot of the myths in it are still present and persistent, particularly in American debate. So it's a good book to buy (or rent at the library if your a poor student ) here's a link if you are interested.
