My Palgrave Nightmare
From: Arturo von VacanoDate: TODAYSubject: A publishing ScandalTo: Authors & Publishers "THE EVO MORALES EXPERIMENT: THE BIRTH OF A NEW ERA IN BOLIVIAN POLITICS" ...was accepted in 2014 by Palgrave, an 'academic' publisher. Palgrave knew EVO was written by a journalist from the very first day. It was NOT written by a scholar. After a first agreement the publisher cut a third of the book. They never sent a copy of this agreement duly signed by Palgrave executives to the author. Since 2014 they have no explanation for an abnormal publication delay of almost five years.Palgrave keeps the book in Amazon and sells it without any legal authorization to publish or sell it. Palgrave just delays the publishing date from month to month since 2016. They ignore the author since 2014. They do not kill the book because all reviewers recommend its publication. They recognize the quality of the work - the author can provide everybody with all reviews requested by that publisher. EVO does not deserve to be kept in limbo since 2014. The book deserves to be published.
From Village Boy to Global Citizen (Volume 2): the Travels of a Journalist
From Village Boy to Global Citizen (Volume 2): The Travels of a Journalist is the last of my autobiographical trilogy. The 74 chapters in this volume attempt to describe and dramatize the most memorable places I visited, often accompanied by my family, since I left the country of my birth in 1966. After my retirement in 2007, I found the time to compile this travelogue using the notes in my diaries and updating the material through online research, with particular help from the constantly revised Wikipedia entries. In this process, I learned to make each travel essay an evergreen that would not perish soon after its publication as in the case of newspaper travel pieces. Travel has shaped my ...

From Village Boy to Global Citizen (Volume 1): The Life Journey of a Journalist
From Village Boy to Global Citizen (Volume 1): The Journey of a Journalist is the first of an autobiographical trilogy that tells the story of a rustic lad born and raised in the southern tip of the British colony of Ceylon (now independent Sri Lanka) but left his country at the age of 26 on a geographical “conquest” of the world that turned him metaphorically into a global citizen. Starting his professional career as a journalist for the Daily News, Ceylon’s premier English-language daily, he became a journalism teacher at the age of 32, when he received a doctorate in mass communication. However, he continued practicing journalism as a free-lancer throughout his teaching career in Malaysia, Australia and the United States. Volume 1 unfolds the transition of the author’s life from a village kid to a global journalist and educator. It dramatizes the obstacles he had to overcome, as well as the support he received from his benefactors, in the transition.

Third World Film Making and the West
This volume is the first fully comprehensive account of film production in the Third World. Although they are usually ignored or marginalized in histories of world cinema," Third World countries now produce well over half of the world’s films. Roy Armes sets out initially to place this huge output in a wider context, examining the forces of tradition and colonialism that have shaped the Third World--defined as those countries that have emerged from Western control but have not fully developed their economic potential or rejected the capitalist system in favor of some socialist alternative. He then considers the paradoxes of social structure and cultural life in the post-independence world,...
