Be Creative by Angela Mcrobbie

In this exciting new book Angela McRobbie charts the euphoric moment of the new creative economy, as it rose to prominence in the UK during the Blair years, and considers it from the perspective of contemporary experience of economic austerity and uncertainty about work and employment.

"From the person who more or less invented cultural labour studies as we know it comes this important set of essays, full of political passion and brilliant insight"
David Hesmondhalgh, University of Leeds

"We are so fortunate to have McRobbie as an expert guide, mapping this complex cultural terrain. The book  is essential reading for those trying to understand creativity within the cultural landscape, how we got here, and the role of neoliberal economies in building and reproducing what it means to be ‘creative’."
Sarah Banet-Weiser, University of Southern California, Los Angeles

Angela McRobbie is Professor of Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London.
