Out of the Basement represents a major contribution to research on cultural policy. There's no other book in the field like this one. It valuably allows readers to understand the perspectives of young cultural producers. Its readership will include not only cultural policy analysts, in Canada and internationally, but also scholars of youth and of media production.

Miranda Campbell successfully critiques the current ill-structured neoliberal conditions that surround and shape youth. Her book is well supported through her creative use of youth voices and real-life examples of youth engaged in cultural productions, including social media sensations. Campbell's book is essential for anyone and everyone interested in youth cultural productions. More importantly, every single policymaker, teacher, and parent should read this book. It serves as a mirror of the reality facing young people stuck in oldfashioned systems that are truly disabling their vocational lives, leading them to give-up or surrender to a neoliberal system that values skills over creative and innovative souls and minds.
