Culture will keep you fit and healthy. Culture will bring
communities together. Culture will improve your education. This is
the message from governments and arts organisations across the
country; however, this book explains why we need to be cautious
about culture. Offering a powerful call to transform the cultural
and creative industries, Culture is bad for you examines the
intersections between race, class, and gender in the mechanisms of
exclusion in cultural occupations. Exclusion from culture begins at
an early age, the authors argue, and despite claims by cultural
institutions and businesses to hire talented and hardworking
individuals, women, people of colour, and those from working class
backgrounds are systematically disbarred. While the inequalities
that characterise both workforce and audience remain unaddressed,
the positive contribution culture makes to society can never be
fully realised. -- .
