British South Asian Dancers In An Age Of Neoliberalism

A Critical Examination of Labour, Representation, and Identity

In the neoliberal era, the arts have been increasingly subject to the forces of the market. This has had a profound impact on the working lives of dancers, who are now more than ever expected to be self-employed and entrepreneurial. This book examines the experiences of British South Asian dancers in this context, exploring how they navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the current economic and political climate.
