"Critical Articulations of Hope from the Margins of Arts Education provides valuable insights into people’s lives as they live with and deal with political, cultural, economic and social challenges. The power of the book is found in its ‘real’ and ‘grass roots’ accounts of how arts education pays attention to marginalised voices and how arts experiences provide support, refuge and hope. The dialogue implicit in the structure of the book places emphasis on the need to share and listen to others experience. That we can, and consistently do share and reflect on experience in and through art and arts education reveals the power of diverse cultural practices in articulating diverse voices at the margins."
Associate Professor Ralph Buck (PhD) is Head of Dance Studies, University of Auckland, New Zealand.
