Taking Books to the World: American Publishers and the Cultural Cold War - Studies in Print Culture and the History of the Book
Amanda Laugesen
Franklin Publications was started in 1953 as a form of cultural diplomacy. Until it folded in the 1970s, Franklin translated, printed, and distributed American books around the world. Amanda Laugesen tells the story of this purposeful enterprise, demonstrating the mix of goodwill and political drive behind its efforts to create modern book industries in developing countries.
