The Compassionate Imagination by Max Wyman

The Compassionate Imagination is a radical reimagining of the role of art and culture in a modern democracy an inspirational, aspirational blueprint for a Canadian Cultural Contract that reawakens our instincts for empathy and kindness, and integrates the creative imagination into our responses to the great social challenges we face.

“The organization and synthesis of such a broad range of information provides us with perspectives and arguments that are both logical and emotionally accessible for a broad range of readers” -- Judith Marcuse, LL.D. (Hon.), Artistic Producer, Judith Marcuse Projects, Founder/Director, International Centre of Art for Social Change (ICASC), Senior Fellow, Ashoka International.

“A monumental work both of daunting analysis and of impassioned argument. It is difficult to come away from this book without wondering whether there is anyone other than Max Wyman who could have written it. The sheer level of knowledge is jaw-dropping.”

* The BC Review *

“… the book is worth reading because it does something rather special: it celebrates Canadian arts and offers ideas to promote their continued cultivation. Wyman’s command of this country’s dance scene, for one, is impressive, and his enthusiasm for the variety and calibre of projects is infectious.”

-- Marlo Alexandra Burks, The Literary Review of Canada
“Highly recommended.” -- Tom Sandborn * The Vancouver Sun *
