Description

Of all the Caribbean countries, Cuba possesses the most voluminous body of literature on mass communication. Following an informative introduction to the history of Cuban mass communications, this book is organised into three parts: resources, contemporary perspectives and historical perspectives. The resources section covers anthologies, bibliographies, catalogues, collections and other research materials. The contemporary perspectives of Cuban mass communication includes broadcasting, comic and graphic arts, film, freedom of the press, news agencies, popular culture, print media, Radio and Television Marti, training and education, and women and the media. The third section pulls together items of historical significance. To highlight the work of individual journalists, magazines and newspapers, 45 journalists and specific magazines and newspaper titles are singled out. This bibliography offers a representative coverage of books, periodicals, dissertations, theses and conference papers. Most of the more than 4000 citations are in the English or Spanish languages. Author and general subject indexes are also included.
