It situates the global ideological rivalry within regional and local political, social, and cultural processes, while offering a transnational and cross-regional focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume makes a major contribution to constructing a cultural and popular cinema history of the global Cold War. Its geographical focus is set on East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. In adopting such an inclusive approach, it draws attention to the different manifestations and meanings of the connections between the Cold War and cinema across Asian borders. Many essays in the volume have a transnational and cross-regional focus, one that sheds light on Cold War-influenced networks (such as the circulation of socialist films across communist countries) and on the efforts of American agencies (such as the United States Information Service and the Asia Foundation) to establish a transregional infrastructure of \"free cinema\" to contain the communist influences in Asia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its interdisciplinary orientation and broad geographical focus, the book will appeal to scholars and students from a wide variety of fields, including film studies, history (especially the burgeoning field of cultural Cold War studies), Asian studies, and US-Asian cultural relations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Poshek Fu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138353817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138353817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Poshek Fu","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087728685311,"sku":"9781138353817","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c50d3b87-1703-4c10-87a3-54cef4ce87f5.jpg?v=1769101073","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cold-war-and-asian-poshek-fu-9781138353817","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
