This comprehensive annotated bibliography reviews nearly 500
English-language studies published between 1915 and 2001 that
examine the depiction of ethnic, racial, and national groups as
portrayed in United States feature films from the inception of
cinema through the present. Coverage includes books, reference
works, book chapters within larger works, and individual essays
from collections and anthologies. Concise annotations provide
content summaries; unique features; major films and filmmakers
discussed; and useful information on related titles, purpose, and
intended readership. The studies included range from specialized
scholarly treatises to popular illustrated books for general
readers, making DEGREESIProjecting Ethnicity and Race DEGREESR an
invaluable resource for researchers interested in ethnic and racial
film imagery.
Entries are arranged alphabetically by title for easy access,
while four separate indexes make the work simple to navigate by
author, subject, gender, race, ethnic group, nationality, country,
religion, film title, filmmaker, performer, or theme. Although the
majority of studies published examine images of African Americans,
Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Asians
in film, the volume contains studies of groups including Africans,
Arabs, the British, Canadians, South Sea Islanders, Tibetans,
Buddhists, and Muslims--making it a unique reference book with a
wide range of uses for a wide range of scholars.
This is the book for anyone who wants to know what really lies
behind the scandals and disasters of global business that have
marred the first few years of the twenty-first century. This book
is not about stock market "bubbles." Nor is it about accounting
scandals and craven auditors. Rather, it examines why companies
fail. The authors postulate that the reasons companies fail are
few, and all too common. Detailed studies of eight of the most
famous recent failures identify six main causes: poor strategic
decisions; over-expansion and ill-judged acquisitions; dominant
CEOs; greed, hubris and a desire for power; failure of internal
controls, and ineffective boards. The authors also set out what the
prudent investor, board member or manager should be alert to but
often is not.
