Graves offers the concept of cultural democracy as corrective--an idea with important historic and contemporary validation, and an alternative pathway toward ethical cultural development that is part of a global shift in values.Drawing upon a range of scholarship and illustrative anecdotes from his own experiences with cultural programs in ethnically diverse communities, Graves explains in convincing detail the dynamics of how traditional and grassroots cultures may survive and thrive--or not--and what we can do to provide them opportunities equal to those of mainstream, Eurocentric culture.Arts, community, and the public purposeArts and societyUnited StatesArts, AmericanUnited StatesSocial life and customs1971-Arts and societyArts, American.306.4/7/0973Graves James Bau1952-1813449MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957982303321Cultural democracy4366598UNINA
