Developed within the PERICREATIVITY project based in Portugal, the book combines insights from PERICREATIVITY researchers with contributions from scholars working in other parts of the world, offering diverse contexts and perspectives on peripheral youth while highlighting the growing significance of artistic practices in the construction of positive identities and in the subversion of dominant stereotypes. The volume further shows how these creative practices have also been appropriated by the state as instruments of urban governance, linked to agendas of youth participation, local development, and social inclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdvancing knowledge on youth creativity in segregated territories and on public policy, the book pays particular attention to urban segregation, social marginalisation, and structural inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emerald Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57260767117656,"sku":"9781837422852","price":102.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/peripheral-creativities","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
