MENAs are defined in this study as individuals with ethnic, cultural and/or racial origins in 22 Arab League states, and non-Arab countries including: Iran, Turkey and Israel. The global context post 9/11 has undoubtedly impacted the ways in which MENAs are represented in media and therefore understood in the social, political and cultural spheres they occupy. This study aimed to understand how the post-9/11 global context has impacted MENA identity.
