Central to this work was the Colonial Film Unit, which produced, distributed, and, through its network of mobile cinemas, exhibited instructional and educational films throughout the British colonies. Using extensive archival research and rarely seen films, \u003ci\u003eFilms for the Colonies\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new historical perspective on the last decades of the British Empire. It also offers a fresh exploration of British and global cinema, charting the emergence and endurance of new forms of cinema culture from Ghana to Jamaica, Malta to Malaysia. In highlighting the integral role of film in managing and maintaining a rapidly changing Empire, Tom Rice offers a compelling and far-reaching account of the media, propaganda, and the legacies of colonialism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Rice\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520300394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520300392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Tom Rice","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946703913215,"sku":"9780520300392","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5ccfbb48-7e87-4510-9480-af0d5fc06801.jpg?v=1681514655","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/films-for-the-colonies-tom-rice-9780520300392","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
