A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2011 'After reading Anne-Marie Quigg's wonderful and informative book 'Bullying in the Arts' I was so inspired and motivated, that I wrote and submitted a Motion for my Union Equity, proposing that the Federation of Entertainment Unions hold a Symposium on the subject. The Motion was subsequently carried at a very well attended London Area AGM, and adopted as the London Area's Motion for the Annual Representative Conference to be held in May. Anne-Marie Quigg's book throws so much light on the issue there is no hiding place for the 'Bullies'.' Billy McColl, Independent Arts and Crafts Professional 'In this provocative and well-evidenced book, the author shows how managerial bullying is just as rife in the (people-centred) arts sector as it is in the industrial and business sectors where it is usually observed. This is a book for academics just as much as for professionals in the field.' Michael Quine, Formerly Acting Head of Department: Department of Cultural Policy & Management, School of Arts, City University, UK 'Bullying in the Arts is an important subject for any people working in an organisation environment. Anne-Marie Quigg does a pioneer job by providing the cultural milieu with a tool easy to understand. She discusses this matter in length with interesting examples. Everyone in a management capacity should read this book.' Professor FranAois Colbert, Chair in Arts Management Carmelle and Remi-Marcoux, HEC Montreal, Canada 'Quigg's work gives an insightful snapshot into the labour practices of arts organisations, firstly in terms of the creative sector as a whole in relation to key trends in employment practices; and secondly, it also represents the way in which a variety of different organisations manage social relations. In doing this, the primary focus of Bullying in the Arts is therefore not on artists per se but on the actual management of the arts in terms of how labour processes are produced. This book therefore helps towards an understanding of unacceptable management practice - such as bullying - but also points towards potential directions for improved leadership .'
