A major survey of some of the largest motion picture industries in the world, seen from both an artistic and industrial perspective and dealing with virtually every country of the vast and diversified continent of Asia. The author collected his information from interviews and from his extensive library on Asia. The history of Asian films is discussed, followed by a section on contemporary trends and problems including those of content, economics, government relationships and cultural characteristics. The last three chapters provide case studies of the film industry in three countries one in each of the main regions of Asia: India, Japan and the Philippines. A bibliographical essay ends the book with descriptive annotations of the numerous films listed.

This international survey of literature on women and mass communications focuses on the 1990's and continues where the first volume, Women and Mass Communications: An International Annotated Bibliography (Greenwood, 1991), left off. Some pre-1990 works that were omitted in the first volume are included here as well. The work is organized by continents and regions and includes the Middle East; Asia, Australia and Oceania; Europe; Latin America and the Caribbean; and North America. The first chapter provides a global perspective, and the following chapters are divided topically. All genres of publications, such as books, periodicals, dissertations, and conference papers, are examined.
This reference will appeal to both women's studies and communications scholars and especially to those with an interest in international studies. As a useful guide to further research, the annotated citations are alphabetically arranged by author or article title and are numbered consecutively. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the significant literature in the study of women and mass communications.
