Specifically, this thesis seeks to explain how foodie social media provides an alternative narrative about Islam, as opposed to more traditional sources of media (i.e. newspaper and television) that seldom mention halal. The analysis of this paper determines that there is ample crossover between foodie culture and Muslim identity. These overlaps along with the ample sources of halal media contribute to providing a more dynamic and complex depiction of Muslims than is available in the mainstream political coverage of Islam. Therefore, among foodies, at least, Islam represents a positive, creative cultural force. 2017-06-22 English text Ohio University Art and Sciences Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouashonors1493210482912763 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ouashonors1493210482912763 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
