Hollywood Abroad: Audiences and Cultural Exchange (Paperback, 2007 Ed.)

Hollywood Abroad is the first book to examine the reception of Hollywood movies by non-American audiences. Although numerous books on film history have analysed the ways in which American films came to dominate world markets, there has so far been very little published work on how audiences outside the United States have responded to Hollywood-produced films. Hollywood Abroad is a pioneering attempt to examine this issue. It unites the work of a number of scholars exploring the reception of U.S. films in Britain, France, Belgium, Turkey, Australia, India, Japan and Central Africa. The book covers topics from the first major penetration of American films into France, Britain and Australia through to the impact of such films as The Best Years of Our Lives and the response of Belgian young people in the age of the multiplex. The book demonstrates that the story of the reception of American films overseas is less one of domination than a complex adoption of Hollywood into their own 'host' cultures.
