Reviews
Culture, Community, and Development is an excellent resource for scholars of community development, creative placemaking, and cultural policy. The authors demystify and annotate the deep and fluid relationships among local arts, culture, and community well-being. The book provides a holistic view of current practices and research in this field. -Leonardo Vazquez, AICP/PP, Executive Director, The National Consortium for Creative Placemaking, USA Over the past century, community development and public policy have almost entirely focused on our material lives-with resources flowing to jobs, housing, training, and infrastructure. But, humans also live in a symbolic world-as Clifford Geertz reminds us, 'we are suspended in webs of meaning we ourselves have spun.' Culture, Community, and Development is an indispensable volume for understanding the symbolic dimensions of community development. The editors have woven together theory, empirical research and policy into a compendium that gets at the heart of community change-the role of art, culture, heritage, and local knowledge for building connectivity, identity, cohesion, resilience and civic capacity. -Steven Tepper, Dean and Director, Foundation Professor, Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, Arizona State University, USA
