Devin Beauregard, Cultural Policy and Industries of Identity: Quebec, Scotland, & Catalonia THE JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT, LAW, AND SOCIETY 2020, VOL. 50, NO. 6, 335–341 BOOK REVIEWS Cultural Policy and Industries of Identity: Quebec, Scotland, & Catalonia,by Devin Beauregard. London, UK: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018, xiii þ 223 pp., $58.51, ISBN: 978-3-3197-3623-5 Devin Beauregard has written an important contribution to our understanding of cultural policy. His book focuses on subnations, that is, territories within states that are largely popu- lated by “national minorities.” These are citizens of larger sovereign nations who are distinct from the majority population. This distinction can be by differences in religion, language, ethnicity, historical development. These substates are national regions: territorial entities that are recognized by the inhabitant themselves, and others, as contributing distinct societies. Subnations are not geographic expressions, nor are they simply concentrated minority popu- lations; rather, they are characterized as historical regions where heritage, customs and way of life manifest a distinct society. In essence, this book studies the ways in which cultural policies and associated cultural industries have evolved to protect the unique identities of subnations. “This evolution … has drawn heavily on the cultural industries as a way of preserving and promoting culture and cultural identity vis-a-vis the isomorphic pressure of both http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png "The Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society" Taylor & Francis
