William Cleveland and Patricia Shifferd, Between Grace and Fear: The Role of Arts in a Time of Change, The Arts in Society.
This book is a series of interviews with social theorists and scholars, philanthropists, scientists, theologians, artists, community development and community arts activists. Several recent books, including The Great Turning by David Korten, and A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink, have made the argument that a new way of organizing our relationships to each other and to nature will be necessary in the coming years. The subjects, some 30 in all, were all asked to comment on this eventuality and to provide their perceptions of what role that artists and arts organisations should play in contributing to a more just and sustainable society.
