'SILENCING CINEMA: FILM CENSORSHIP AROUND THE WORLD' brings together the
key issues and authors to examine instances of film censorship. Including
essays by some of today's leading film historians, the book offers
groundbreaking historical research on film censorship in major film
production countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom,
Russia/Soviet Union, India, China, and Nigeria, among others.
The contributors explore such innovative themes and topics as film
censorship and authorship, genre, language, religion, audiences, political
economy, international policy, and colonialism. This exciting collection is
thoroughly unique in its broad geographical scope and its comprehensive
look at film censorship.
SILENCING CINEMA, edited by Daniel Biltereyst and Roel Vande Winkel, is now
