Caribbean Industries in Culture - Suzanne Burke - diskuze

Analysing the factors affecting the sustainable development of Caribbean cultural industry, this concise volume explores how creatives operate within the cultural ecology of the region, and the diverse range of tactics they use to mediate state and global policies to define cultural production and consumption in post-colonial small island states.Despite 30 years of government intervention in the sector as an agent of socio-economic change to diversify the small island economies in the region has not enjoyed sustainable success or delivered on its promise of transformation. This book this book aims to map how Caribbean creative activity connects and traverses the prickly domains of cultural policy, cultural institutions, cultural programming and artistic practice to open new vistas of understanding cultural production and a more nuanced reflectivity about the cultural life of the region.This innovative and practical study will be of interest not only to scholars and practitioners interested and working in the Caribbean, but also researchers and advanced students in cultural policy, as well as policy makers and other researchers working in cultural policy development in regions and island states.
