Opis

Museums and Racism is a topic/case-study focused examination of the broad themes of mobility and migration through a lens of current affairs and contemporary politics. Concerned with methodology, it investigates diverse disciplinary approaches to conducting research into the cultural politics of museums - the social and political landscape within which museums are located. The book's interdisciplinary framework is drawn from Ethnography and Political Science as well as Museum Studies and Activist Art Studies (political posters will be a particular site of examination). The geographical scope of this book is Australian and global.
