'Two decades after the original promotion of creative industries, there is a period of global rethinking. With talk of a ''creative economy'' that goes beyond the traditional sectors, critiques of creative cities, and a stalling of three decades of economic globalization, it is a timely opportunity for critical work on geographies of creativity. This collection draws together a diverse and accomplished collection of scholars well equipped to undertake this important task.'--Terry Flew, Queensland University of Technology, Australia
