Abstract	This compelling collection of inspiring case studies from community arts projects in five countries will inform and inspire students, artists, and activists. "VIVA!" is the product of a five-year transnational research project that integrates place, politics, passion, and praxis. Framed by postcolonial theories of decolonization, the pedagogy of the oppressed articulated by Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, and the burgeoning field of community arts, this collection not only analyzes the dynamic integration of the critical and the creative in social justice movements, it embodies such a praxis. Learn from Central America: Kuna children's art workshops, a community television station in Nicaragua, a cultural marketplace in Guadalajara, Mexico, community mural production in Chiapas; and from North America: arts education in Los Angeles inner-city schools, theater probing ancestral memory, community plays with over one hundred participants, and training programs for young artists in Canada. These practices offer critical hope for movements hungry for new ways of knowing and expressing histories, identities, and aspirations, as well as mobilizing communities for social transformation. Beautifully illustrated with more than one hundred color photographs, the book also includes a DVD with videos that bring the projects to life. This book is divided into two parts. Part I, Recovering Cultural histories: From Indigenous to Diasporic Contexts, contains the following: (1) Planting Good Seeds: The Kuna Children's Art Workshops (Jesus Alemancia); and (2) The Lost Body: Recovering Memory--A Personal Legacy (Diane Roberts). Part II, Transforming Urban Spaces: From Post Colonial Neighborhoods to Public Squares, contains the following: (3) Out of the Tunnel There Came Tea: Jumblies Theatre's Bridge of One Hair Project (Ruth Howard); (4) Telling Our Stories: Training Artists to Engage with Communities (Christine McKenzie); (5) A Melting Pot Where Lives Converge: Tianguis Cultural de Guadalajara (Leonardo David de Anda Gonzalez and Sergio Eduardo Martinez Mayoral); (6) Painting by Listening: Participatory Community Mural Production (Sergio G. Valdez Ruvalcaba); (7) Connecting the Dots: Linking Schools and Universities Through the Arts (Amy Shimson-Santo); and (8) With Our Images, Voices and Cultures Bilwivision: A Community Television Channel (Margarita Antonio and Reyna Armida Duarte). A glossary and an index are included. (ERIC).
