If you have a question about this talk, please contact Pamela Burnard. This talk has been canceled/deleted The book challenges the common sense view that creativity has played a positive role in kick-starting urban renewal in American cities during the past two decades. Informed by cultural studies and critical whiteness studies, The Creative Underclass advances theorization of the unmarked whiteness of ‘the creative’ and, in turn, how both urban and educational policy and practice in the United States have invested culturally and economically in whiteness through state-subsidized urban renewal projects. Amidst this cultural landscape,this book illustrates how young people of colour from low-income backgrounds deploy creative practices to trouble their social position as members of an ‘underclass’ who stand in the way of urban progress, and how those same practices can become entangled in the revitilization of cities at their expense.
