Far from being geographies of \"nowhere\" - dull, materialistic, and monotone - suburbs are unpacked as being heterogeneous and historically layered places of living, work, and creation. Situating creativity in place and time, \u003ci\u003eCreativity from Suburban Nowheres\u003c\/i\u003e displaces mainstream understandings of creativity and widespread stereotypes commonly associated with the suburbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors explore the particular forms of creativity that suburbs elicit both in the process of their making, materialization, and community construction, and in the myriad ways in which suburbs are inhabited and experienced. They highlight accounts of suburbs as places that give people the space and latitude to shape individual and collective identities through creative practices at odds with mainstream culture, and often remote from the classic agglomeration \"assets\" associated with inner cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnchored in historical and geographical research, this volume highlights how and in what forms creativity should be understood in the suburbs, why and when creativity can be found, and how the notion of suburban creativity overthrows ingrained and dominant normative viewpoints.
