Reviews
Taiwan cinema has been intertwined historically and politically with that of China, Hong Kong, and Japan for over a century. Academic and film historian Lee (Taipei National Univ. of the Arts in Taiwan) focuses on Taiwan cinema during two divided periods of Taiwan history: Japanese colonial rule (1895-1945) and Nationalist rule (1945-present). This well-researched book features an excellent and informative introductory essay, a reader's note, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a detailed chronology (1895-2011), more than 140 entries, an extensive bibliography, maps, and photographs. In the reader's note, Lee explains the complex Romanization systems used throughout the volume, including Cantonese, English, Pinyin, and Wade-Giles for Chinese names, and modified Hepburn for Japanese names. The main dictionary entries feature prominent directors, producers, actors, studios, organizations, genres, and representatives of the best Taiwanese films. Overall, this is a useful resource for students and scholars in film or East Asian studies. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers., The Historical Dictionary of Taiwan Cinema includes a chronology, list of acronyms and abbreviations, introduction, dictionary, and a topical bibliography. The Dictionary offers reliable counts of the country's film history with cross-references of the important directors, producers, performers, films, studios, and genres.

The book is a new copy (as I ordered). Arrived within the frame time. There was no way to track the shipping (which was annoying but I didn't try to contact the seller). The book was packaged in a secure envelope which protected it.
