Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Producing Local CoorBy CustomerThis is a well written; well researcher book by Diane Grams where she has investigated local ethnic/cultural art in Chicago neighborhoods and how they have developed and grown through the years and the importance this has on the culture in the city and communities.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Producing Local Color changed my thinkingBy Paul KleinI thoroughly enjoyed this book and was reeducated by reading it. It made me much more aware of the decentralized ethic pockets of culture that exist within a city. Downtown invariably has an homogenized culture of museums and institutions that are an extension of white; European heritage; which may not even reflect the make-up most of those living within a city like Chicago. Outlying; local cultural centers and museums can be much more responsive to the communities in which they exist and correspondingly have a greater impact on peoples lives. Producing Local Color was an eye-opener. It has reoriented my thinking about how culture functions within a city. Probably worth reading again.
