"Given the increasing interest in socially engaged art, this is a timely and inspiring book. It offers many insights into the process of making community art from the 1970’s to the present through the work of a significant contributor to the field, and clearly explores the challenges facing artists who wish to collaborate with communities." -- Beverly Naidus, University of Washington Tacoma, USA"This clear, comprehensive study, combining history, theory and practice reveals a critically astute insider hard at work in the field she helped pioneer." -Gregory Sholette, Queens College CUNY, USA
