Working to resist the criticism that autoethnography is inward-looking and narcissistic, \u003ci\u003eArts-Based Activism and Collaborative Autoethnography\u003c\/i\u003e weaves together collective voices raised within the arts and activism that are more nuanced and multilayered than single voices alone. Engaging, readable and dynamic, this book is a champion of and an essential exploration of autoethnography, qualitative inquiry, social activism, arts-based scholarship and research.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristina Reading\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent artist and writer from the UK.
