It is intended as a resource for CCD workers, artists, artsworkers in the field and other key stakeholders, as well as the broader arts and community cultural development constituencies. We hope this book contributes to discussions which forground the possibilities for effective and respectful cross-cultural CCD work. -- Back cover.
