Book Description
Grammy-winning Eminem (Marshall Mathers) is the first white crossover star of the hip-hop generation and it is a crossover notable for the absence of the resentment (but more of the controversy) that confronted past white performers of “black” music. In fact, black cultural bigwigs from Zadie Smith (who profiled Eminem in a Vibe cover-story lovefest) to rap progenitor and mogul Russell Simmons, not to mention superproducer to the stars Dr. Dre, a host of lesser lights, and hordes of bona fide fans have been crawling out of the woodwork to deflect the very criticism you might expect a white boy to draw when taking up a black form as his own. Meanwhile, self-consciously highbrow journals like the New Republic and the Nation have taken Eminem to task over his confused class antagonism, as portrayed in both his music and his first (it won’t be his last) $100 million–grossing feature film, 8 Mile, and his truly scary misogyny and homophobia. This illustrated collection with fifty photographs includes interviews with Eminem along with selections from Toure, Andrew Sarris, Kenneth Turan, Armond White, Richard Kim, Ann Powers, Vic Everett, and many others.

timmy review.......2004-03-17
The book White Noise is very enteresting. I don't read books very much but this one I can say was really good. Hilton Als put a lot of details into the book an made people want to read the book.The things that i like was how they told about his live when he was younger and how he used to get beat up all the time. then there was lyrics from his songs in the book to i relly like to read the lyrics that he had wrote. So if any one ever plans to read a book i recomend this one.
Worthwhile Collection.......2004-02-15
Hilton Als and Darryl A. Turner over twenty articles on Eminem ranging from praising him to well, not being exactly kind. They range from his rise as a superstar, to race issues, his movie debut, and just about anything else. The articles are very well written, and although minor editing errors exist, transferred very well.
Recommended read to get all points of view.

Book Description
How is globalization changing both society and the media? De-Westernizing Media Studies brings together leading media critics from around the world to address central questions in the study of the media, breaking away from the narrow Anglo-American perspective that has dominated media studies. In a series of case studies from Asia, Africa, North and South America, Europe, the Middle East and Australia, the contributors explore relationships between media, power and society in a variety of regional and national contexts, and the effects of globalization. They also confront the limitations of conventional theories on media and globalization in understanding these relationships.

Book Description
This quick, easy--yet exceptionally substantive--introduction to the Third World is designed to help readers gain a clearer perspective of the basics and true nature of developing countries as background for either working with Third World countries in any capacity or filling in background for a general understanding history and current events. Looks at the history, structure, culture, politics and quarrels of four developing countries--China, Brazil, South Africa, and Iran--examining their progress and problems, and underscoring the fact that democracy in the Third World is difficult, but possible, and that what West Europe and North America did first (and it wasn't quick or easy for them either) most of the Third World will accomplish in the twenty-first century. For international businesses that need quick intro to the Third World for staffers, and for general readers interested in the Third World.

Book Description
Rob Long rose from staff writer to become co-producer of Cheers in its final season. When the show went off the air, he went from being top dog on a highly rated program to just another writer scrambling to get any project rolling. It wasn't pretty, but as Conversations with My Agent demonstrates, in hindsight at least, that's the hilarious reality of life in the wonderful world of the Hollywood sitcom. Suddenly thrown into the absurdity of Hollywood television development, Long and his writing partner find themselves with an office, an assistant, lots of cigars, and absolutely no idea what they are going to write. But that doesn't matter in Hollywood, where hype is more important than substance. Especially when you have a good agent. Here Long recants the true tale of his time in that limbo, from the wildly funny but awful meetings with studio executives to the unending string of phone calls with his self-absorbed agent, who is emblematic of the uniquely absurd chaos that is Hollywood.
Conversations with My Agent received terrific reviews.
Appeals to an enormous market including aspiring writers, screenwriters, producers, and directors.

Best Hollywood Read.......2001-05-24
This book is my favorite Hollywood book. It is also the funnest Hollywood book. Enjoy the read.

Witty, funny tale of a queer world.......2000-04-06
Great book, written in an unusual witty style. He admits some of his luck to get in the business and how quickly it can be taken away. I recommend this book for anyone wanting to know more about the business AND be entertained.
Funny and informative look at sitcom producing........1999-11-20
This quick read is full of funny scenes as the author labors to bring his sitcom onto the air. He has a rare (in Hollywood) modesty; he drops no names although he badmouths no one.
He doesn't even name the sitcom he managed to get on the air and which he discusses throughout the book (it was PIG STY, which ran on UPN for a season).
He's currently producing LOVE AND MONEY for CBS.
Charming, clever quick read.......1999-03-08
Conversations with my agent succeeds on three levels: as a quick introduction to writing for television, as a morality tale about overnight success in Hollywood, and as a humor book. I've read almost everything there is to read about screenwriting, and this book was by far the most enjoyable in an overcrowded, turgid genre. It wasn't deep, but it sure was fun -- and informative.

Confusing description.......2006-01-10
I purchased this book to use with a college class thinking it was a complete student kit. It is NOT - it is just the book. I am sure the text is fine, but I rated it with 2 stars for the confusion. This is only my first disappointment with Amazon - their delivery and service has been great other than this.
