Museums, Heritage and International Development - Bog

The relationship between museums, heritage and international development has been underexamined from a critical and comparative perspective. This edited volume inaugurates a new, important debate across these and other disciplines, identifying the distinct contribution of museums and heritage to international development agendas, engaging with the politics of museums and heritage for development, and identifying the specific challenges facing this sector within development practice. Grounded in case studies which range from Africa, to South, East and South-East Asia, to South America and the Caribbean, the volume aims at a rethinking of both international museum and development practice.
