Liverpool glocal
The multicultural Liverpool of the 2000s, for all its inequality, for all the residual racism, not only finds expression in the art scene: it is in many respects a product of it. It is a truism of globalisation studies that the new global polity is unthinkable without global communications. Equally neither the new global cultures vividly evident in the music, performance and biennial art worlds, nor the new local, with its intense understanding of how locality is formed in and responds to the global, are thinkable without the reinvention of old and innovation of new channels for communication within and across communities. Willett was the intellectual captive of his generation, but found a way to be visionary in that grim post-war reconstruction that was still incomplete in the 1960s

Abstract
The multicultural Liverpool of the 2000s, for all its inequality, for all the residual racism, not only finds expression in the art scene: it is in many respects a product of it. It is a truism of globalisation studies that the new global polity is unthinkable without global communications. Equally neither the new global cultures vividly evident in the music, performance and biennial art worlds, nor the new local, with its intense understanding of how locality is formed in and responds to the global, are thinkable without the reinvention of old and innovation of new channels for communication within and across communities. Willett was the intellectual captive of his generation, but found a way to be visionary in that grim post-war reconstruction that was still incomplete in the 1960s
