SOME RESOURCES FOR AREA TRAINING

Abstract

The report lists resources that may be useful to individuals responsible for area training programs, especially if the trainees are being sent to developing nations. Part I gives descriptions, source data, and evaluative information about films likely to be of more than average value in area training. It also contains items concerned with technical assistance, development, social change, and cross-cultural communication. Part II lists some novels that capture the attitudes, feelings, and aspirations of other cultures. The first two parts are classified primarily by cultural-geographic areas and by country. Part III is an annotated list of readings which describe and analyze American values in ways that may enable the reader to become more sensitive to the values and assumptions which determine his behavior. Part IV describes several organizations and publications other than novels or movies which provide information about sources of area training materials.
