Exploring Community Festivals and Events - Allan Jepson - Bog

This book for the first time, explores the role and importance of `community¿, `culture¿ and its impact through festivals and events. By doing so the book explores local traditions, culture, and how community festivals and events can act as a catalyst for tourism and create a sense of community, and offers further insight into the role of diaspora, imagined communities, pride and identity, history, producing and consuming space and place, authenticity and multi-ethnic communities.
