'The river exe-pedition' a combined arts project with mixed-heritage families in Devon is a handbook, a story and education about belonging, and the arts as educators of the heart. It is thought-provoking being both pragmatic and about much more than it seems on first glance. It is action-provoking showing how good informed arts practice can help people from mixed race families live better together in a complex world. The book combines thorough thinking and sensitive practice with straight-forward and clearly presented evaluation. In this creative book, Hurley explores the ways in which place and space shape our sense of self and belonging through a focus on the overlooked experience of racial mixing and mixedness in rural Britain. Drawing on a fascinating and eclectic combined arts project undertaken with mixed racial families in Devon, Blazing Tales takes a fresh and challenging look at what it means to be - and be seen to be - part of a mixed race family beyond the British city.
