new publication: Cinema and the Swastika

[hansen@hanzie.de]

Dear list,

film historians Roel Vande Winkel and David Welch have published an  
anthology on the worldwide expansion of Nazi Cinema. The book deals  
mostly with European and American countries but it also includes my  
essay on German-Japanese Film Relations between 1929 and 1945.

Here's the description from the publisher's website:

Cinema and the Swastika is the first publication to bring together  
comparative research on the international expansion of Third Reich  
cinema. This volume investigates various attempts to infiltrate -  
economically, politically and culturally ? the film industries of 20  
countries and regions either occupied by, friendly with or neutral  
towards Nazi Germany. With contributions from internationally  
acclaimed specialists, the territory covered includes Western and  
Central Europe, Italy, Japan, Scandinavia, Spain, South Americas and  
the USA. This book also features assessments of the International Film  
Chamber, through which the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels,  
tried to lead the ?Film Europe? movement, and of Hispano Film, through  
which German cinema tried to conquer Spanish markets.
