"Globalized Arts possesses a subtle and well-honed sense of the benefits of cultural globalization while remaining sensitive to potential drawbacks. I found wisdom on every page." - Tyler Cowen, author of Creative Destruction: How Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures Focusing on the confrontation between global politics and symbolic creative expression, J. P. Singh shows how, by integrating themselves into international markets, entertainment industries give rise to far-reaching cultural anxieties and politics. With examples from Hollywood, Bollywood, French grand opera, Latin American television, West African music, postcolonial literature, and even the Thai sex trade, Singh cites not only the attempt to address cultural discomfort but also the effort to deny entertainment acts as cultural. He connects creative expression to clashes between national identities, and he details the effect of cultural policies, such as institutional patronage and economic incentives, on the making and incorporation of art into the global market. Ultimately, Singh shows how these issues affect the debates on cultural trade being waged by the World Trade Organization, UNESCO, and the developing world. "This excellent book on the global context of cultural policy is admirably poised between political economy and anthropology, cultural policy and politics, critique and celebration." - Arjun Appadurai, New York University ORDER THE BOOK $39.50 $27.65 (with the discount code) / £27.50   cloth  240 pages   5 illus.  15 tables For more titles in: Politics Economics & Finance Cultural Studies
