Latin American Television: A Global View »

Professor John Sinclair (co-author of the highly-praised New Patterns in Global Television: Peripheral Vision) is Associate Professor in International Communication, Sociology, and Cultural Studies, in the Faculty of Arts at Victoria University of Technology, Melbourne

Latin American Television makes English speakers aware of the dimensions, operation, and significance of the globalization of television in the Spanish-speaking world. Second only in scale to the market for English-language programming, the Spanish-language market embraces not just most nations of South and Central America but also Spain and the United States. The book chronicles and analyses the development and structure of the globalization of these markets as a 'Latin world'.
