Caribbean Industries in Culture: Developing Sustainable Actions for the Creative Ecology (1) (Routledge Focus on the Global Creative Economy)

Synopsis

Analysing the factors affecting the sustainable development of the 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, the cultural industry sector has not consistently performed as an agent of socio-economic change. In that sense, it has not delivered on its promise to diversify the small island economies in the region. This book aims to map how Caribbean creative activity connects and traverses the prickly domains of cultural policy, cultural institutions, cultural entrepreneurship and artistic practice to open new vistas of understanding cultural production and to provide a more nuanced reading of the cultural life of the Caribbean.This innovative and practical study will be of interest not only to scholars and practitioners interested and working in the Caribbean but also to researchers and advanced students in cultural policy, as well as to policy makers and other researchers working in cultural policy development, arts practice and creative entrepreneurship within small island states.
