Choice Magazine's Outstanding Academic Titles List
Pat on the back for Cinematic Tango and IFG
We are delighted to announce that two Wallflower Press titles have have made it on the list of Outstanding Academic Titles in Choice magazine, the premier source for reviews of academic books, electronic media, and Internet resources of interest to those in higher education in the US.
CONGRATULATIONS TO:
The Cinematic Tango: Contemporary Argentine Film by Tamara Falicov
The International Film Guide 2008 edited by Ian Haydn Smith
Every year in its January issue, Choice publishes the list of Outstanding Academic Titles that were reviewed during the previous calendar year. The prestigious list reflects the best in scholarly titles reviewed by Choice and brings with it the extraordinary recognition of the academic library community. The list is quite selective, containing about 10 percent of some 7,000 works reviewed in Choice each year. The two Wallflower titles are among the 15 books listed in the film category.
The Cinematic Tango: Contemporary Argentine Film
An overview of the Argentine film industry, Falicov's book includes a technical commentary on production and marketing. The Choice review cited Falicov's "excellent analysis of the contemporary film scene, replete with fascinating new material. Jibing historical evolution with the ongoing debate over national identity in the industry's complex tango with the state, this is by far the best guide to Argentine cinema available in English."
