4.9/5 (33802 ratings)

Description:Negotiating Race and Rights in the Museum offers an in-depth examination of the ways in which issues of race have been understood, approached and negotiated in the context of a major cultural and research organisation in the United States: the Smithsonian Institution.Focusing primarily on key moments in history, but also including reflections on more recent times, this book offers an account of how key discourses around race, rights, inclusion and self-definition have challenged and reshaped the museum sector. Situating museums within longstanding narratives of integration and charting the problematic emergence of 'post-race' ideas within the museum context, this book demonstrates the ways in which 'culturally-specific' approaches to museums have been challenged and refuted by powerful museum stakeholders, just as they have been crucial vehicles for the embodiment of rights and justice movements over the twentieth century. This cultural history offers insights into ongoing challenges that museums around the world continue to face, whilst also questioning what museums of all kinds can learn from the emergence of rights-based and 'culturally-specific' museums. Negotiating Race and Rights in the Museum will appeal to students and academics working within the fields of museum studies, heritage studies, curatorial studies, cultural studies and media studies. Museum practitioners and researcher-practitioners who are interested in engaging with, and understanding issues of race and diversity, will also find the book of great interest.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
