While studies on news flow in Latin America and Asia are numerous, there are fewer for Africa and the Socialist countries, which makes their inclusion especially valuable. Certain of the works are supported with systematic data, while others are historical and analytical. Entries, which are extensively annotated, cover monographs, periodical articles, and theses, and are by contributors from around the globe. Hamid Mowlana compiled an earlier bibliography, International Communication: A Selected Bibliography (Dubuque, IA: Kendall/Hunt, 1971), well-organized but not annotated." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G.
