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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword: A history of struggle for now - Benjamin Zephaniah \u003cbr\u003eForeword: On radical transformation – Bidisha \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Creativity and resistance in a hostile world – Sarita Malik, Churnjeet Mahn, Michael Pierse and Ben Rogaly\u003cbr\u003e1 Radical openness in a hostile world – Churnjeet Mahn, Sarita Malik, Michael Pierse and Ben Rogaly \u003cbr\u003e2 ‘Lived Theory’: the complexities of radical openness in collaborative research - \u003cbr\u003eDaisy Hasan-Bounds, Sarita Malik and Jasber Singh\u003cbr\u003e3 Creative anti-racisms: screen and digital labour as resistance\u003cbr\u003ePhotini Vrikki, Sarita Malik and Aditi Jaganathan \u003cbr\u003e4 \u003ci\u003eWorkers\u003c\/i\u003e: creative resistance to racial capitalism within and beyond the workplace - Agnieszka Coutinho, Jay Gearing and Ben Rogaly\u003cbr\u003e5 Creatively connecting civil rights: co-creation, theatre and collaboration for social transformation in Belfast – Michael Pierse, Martin Lynch and Fionntán Hargey\u003cbr\u003e6 Re-curating a literary utopia: creative resistance in Preet Nagar - \u003cbr\u003eChurnjeet Mahn, Anne Murphy, Raghavendra Rao KV, Poonam Singh, Ratika Singh and Samia Singh  \u003cbr\u003eConclusion - Michael Pierse, Churnjeet Mahn, Sarita Malik and Ben Rogaly\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041017889111,"sku":"9781526152848","price":68.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526152848.jpg?v=1750948618","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/creativity-and-resistance-in-a-hostile-world-9781526152848","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
