Abstract

The Summer 2001 AEMS News and Reviews (Vol. 4, No. 4) helps educators engage students with Asia through various media, featuring Richard Chalfen's article on using Hollywood films like Mr. Baseball to teach cross-cultural themes and media literacy. The issue reviews diverse Asian media, including "Through the Consul’s Eye" on French diplomat Auguste François's rare early photography and film from French Indochina and China; "Life in Pakistan Today" exploring contemporary Pakistani women's lives; Zhang Yimou's "Not One Less" highlighting rural education in China; "Yangtze: New China and the Old River" showing China's modernization and the Three Gorges Dam; and films introducing Bhutan’s "Gross National Happiness" development philosophy. The publication also provides resources like the "Contemporary Chinese Societies" CD-ROM and sections on Japan and South Korea, serving as a comprehensive guide for educators.
