'Social Works takes an interdisciplinary look at the forms, goals, and histories of innovative social practice in contemporary performance and visual art. Shannon Jackson presents a range of case studies and contemporary methodologies to examine the fields for performative and visual art studies.' - Public Art Review, 2011, Issue 45 'Shannon Jackson offers vivid close readings of art and performance ... and she considers social issues relating to welfare, sanitation, urban planning, and globalisation, and how they coincide with class, gender, race, and - especially - labour...This will be a useful, enriching, and stimulating book for artists, students, and academics across art, performance, and social theory.' - Jen Harvie, Contemporary Theatre Review
