What can culture, and its manifestations in artistic and creative
forms, 'do'? Creativity and resistance in a hostile world draws on
original collaborative research that brings together a range of
stories and perspectives on the role of creativity and resistance
in a hostile world. In times of racial nationalism across the
world, this volume seeks to understand how creative acts have
agitated for social change. The book suggests that creative actions
themselves, and acting together creatively, can at the same time
offer vital sources of hope. Drawing on a series of case studies,
this volume focuses on the past and emergent grassroots arts work
that has responded to racisms, the legacies of colonialism or the
depredations of capitalist employment across several contexts and
locations, including England, Northern Ireland and India. The book
makes a timely intervention, foregrounding the value of creativity
for those who are commonly marginalised from centres of power,
including from the mainstream cultural industries. The authors also
critically reflect on the possibilities and limitations of
collaborative research within and beyond the academy. -- .
