Confronting reality

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A lively introduction to a subject which has attracted increasing interest in the last few years.. A wide-ranging and carefully constructed account. Likely to be adopted on many courses (both foundational level and advanced) which include the study of documentary as part of a wider Media Studies agenda.. Written in a highly accessible manner, it has the edge on rival publications on the subject, which have often proved to difficult for an undergraduate readership.
