Books by Philip O. Hwang

Other Esteem is a creative, unique, and unconventional response to our society's apparent obsession with promoting the self. It challenges the wide spread belief that low self-esteem is at the root of all social ills.

Covering China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and India, this book reviews the unique theoretical accomplishments made by Asian communication scholars. It focuses on insights that have been made by adapting Western media theories to the social, cultural, or political contexts that exist in these countries.
