While culture does make important contributions to national and urban economies, the incentives and benefits of participating in this economy are not distributed equally, due to restructuring that neoliberal policies have wrought from the 1980's on, as well as long-standing social structures, such as racism and classism, that breed inequality. The cultural economy promises to make life better, particularly in cities, but not everyone can take advantage of it for decent jobs. Exposing and challenging the taken-for-granted assumptions around questions of space, value and mobility that are sustained by neoliberal treatments of culture, Culture Works explores some of the hierarchies of cultural workers that these engender, as they play out in a variety of settings, from shopping malls in Puerto Rico and art galleries in New York to tango tourism in Buenos Aires. Noted scholar Arlene Dávila brilliantly reveals how similar dynamics of space, value and mobility come to bear in each location, inspiring particular cultural politics that have repercussions that are both geographically specific, but also ultimately global in scope. 606 $aArts$zAmerica 606 $aCultural industries$zAmerica 606 $aNeoliberalism$zAmerica 606 $aLatin Americans$xEconomic conditions 606 $aLatin Americans$xSocial conditions 607 $aLatin America$xCultural policy 607 $aLatin America$xCivilization 615 0$aArts 615 0$aCultural industries 615 0$aNeoliberalism 615 0$aLatin Americans$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aLatin Americans$xSocial conditions. 676 $a980 700 $aDa?vila$b Arlene M.$f1965-$0920654 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789974203321 996 $aCulture works$93836605 997 $aUNINA
