Notes

1. Although numerous references attribute first use of the term ‘NoUywood’ to a 2002 New York Times article by Matt Steinglass, he rejected that claim in a September 30, 2002 discussion post on african-cinema-conference http://www.mail-archive.com/african-cinema-conference@xc.org/msg00688.html (accessed on October 26, 2009). The earliest use as identified by this reviewer was in a September 16,2002 New York Times article, “Step Aside, L.A. and Bombay, for NoUywood,” by Norimitsu Onishi.
