Overview

Caste and the discrimination, exclusion, marginalization, othering, oppression, subalterning, and subjugation that it produces continue to challenge creative industries compromising culture’s verisimilitude as a public good. Achieving Creative Justice in the U.S. Creative Sector explores the relationships between access, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI), and creative justice in the U.S. creative sector as a solution to meaningfully address enduring creative injustices. Whether it’s the #BlackLivesMatter, #LandBack, or #MeToo movements, caste remains structurally and systemically built into U.S. Society, and thereby the creative sector. Acknowledging this realization after George Floyd’s murder in 2020 has galvanized a quest for solutions. This book encourages sincere consideration for the human toll of insisting on artistic excellence and artistic merit at the expense of profound and unnecessary identity-based human suffering. Providing a practical guide on how to activate ADEI to achieve creative justice and a research agenda, this book is an essential reading for practitioners and scholars who feel compelled to address creative injustices that constrain the creative flourishing of historically and continuously low-casted peoples throughout the entire cultural ecosystem that defines the U.S. creative sector.
