About
Dr. antonio c. cuyler is editor of the Palgrave Macmillan volume, Arts Management, Cultural Policy, & the African Diaspora. This volume centers people of African descent as cultural leaders to challenge the myth that they do not know how or care about managing and preserving their culture. The volume also presents comparative case studies of the challenges, differences, similarities, and successes in approaches to cultural leadership across multiple cultural contexts throughout the African diaspora. This volume aims to disrupt the enduring and systemic global marginalization, oppression, and subjugation that threatens and undermines people of African descent’s cultural contributions to humanity. The most important distinguishing feature of the volume is its geographical use of the African diaspora to explore the subjects of arts management and cultural policy, which, to date, no volume has done before. Additional key publications that center people of African descent include, Casualties of Exclusionary Cultural Policies and Savants of Cultural Production: Exploring the Paradox of Black American Cultural Engagement in the U. S., France and the Restitution of African Cultural Property: A Critical Race Theory View, The Death of White Supremacy Culture in the U. S. Creative Sector & Implications for Arts Management: A Critical Race Theory View, (Un)Silencing Blacktivism in Opera: An Interview with Quodesia Johnson about the Letter to the Opera Field from Black Administrators, and Moving beyond @operaisracist: Exploring Blacktivism as a pathway to Antiracism and Creative Justice in Opera.
