New Book: Richard Butsch *Screen Culture: A Global History *Polity Press
 Feb UK, April US

http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9780745653242


In this expansive historical synthesis, Richard Butsch integrates  social,
economic, and political history to offer a comprehensive and cohesive
examination of screen media and culture globally – from film and television
to digital media – as it has evolved through the 20thand 21st centuries.



Drawing on an enormous trove of research on the US, Britain, France, Egypt,
West Africa, India, China and other nations, Butsch tells the stories of
how media has developed in these nations and what global forces linked
them. He assesses the global ebb and flow of media hegemony and the
cultural differences in audiences' use of media. Comparisons across time
and space reveal two linked developments: the rise and fall of American
cultural hegemony, and the consistency among audiences from different
countries in the way they incorporate screen entertainments into their own
cultures.



Deeply engaging, *Screen Culture *offers a masterful, integrated, global
history that invites media scholars to see this landscape in a new light.
Clearly written, it also will appeal to students as well as interested
general readers.
