Based on original research, this book looks at the role of community organisations as intermediaries between community and culture, analysing the role they play in mitigating the worst effects of social exclusion. The authors examine the necessity to engage communities with different forms of cultural consumption and production, and consider issues surrounding power, governance, and future practice.
"This book looks behind the bland statement that 'culture is good for you' and explores the messy, contradictory and hopeful space that exists in the intersection between cultural work and community development. Drawing on practice and academic thought, this book will be challenging and helpful to readers working in this area." Dave Beck, University of Glasgow
