The author brings together material from a wide range of disciplines to argue for cultural intervention as a means to radical change, while recognizing that most such efforts in the past have not delivered the dreams of their perpetrators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistinctive in that it places works of the imagination in the political and cultural context of environmentalism, this book asks how cultural work might contribute to radical social change. It is equally concerned with theory and practice - part one providing a theoretical framework and part two illustrating such frameworks with examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Malcolm Miles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415266882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415266888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.72h x 6.74w x 0.57d","brand":"Malcolm Miles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136063189247,"sku":"9780415266888","price":72.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_218ed2bb-fb36-4a03-b231-7ebccfdbfb28.jpg?v=1770160267","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/urban-avant-gardes-malcolm-miles-9780415266888","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
