The World According To Hollywood,1918-1939 by Ruth Vasey
The most visible cultural institution on earth between the World Wars, the Hollywood movie industry tried to satisfy world-wide audiences of vastly different cultural, religious, and political persuasions. The World According to Hollywood shows how the industry's self-regulation shaped the content of films to make them salable in as many markets as possible.-

"Vasey's book is extremely well researched and contributes new knowledge and arguments to the field of censorship historyVasey’s book is not only relevant to film history (specifically histories of censorship and the Hollywood studio system modes of production) but also to genre studies, national cinema and representations of race, ethnicity and sexuality. Vasey’s book is innovative and signposts a number of related areas for further research in her field. As an excellent example of film scholarship, The World According to Hollywood 1918-1939 is certainly worth reading even if it is not in your area." (Scope: An On-Line Journal of Film Studies, Dec 1999) "Vasey is a determined researcher, ably demonstrating that diligent searching can produce telling documentation. Here she has skilfully mined a vast array of data from the records left by the Production Code Administration, the studios - particularly Warner Bros. - and the public record of the US Department of Commerce." (Screen, Vol. 39, No. 3, Autumn 1998)
