Beskrivning
How are issues related to identity representation negotiated in Middle Eastern and North African museums? Can museums provide a suitable canvas for minorities to express their voice? Can narratives change and stereotypes be broken and, if so, what kind of identities are being deployed? Against the backdrop of the revolutionary upheavals that have shaken the region in recent years, the contributors to this volume interrogate a range of case studies from across the region – examining how museums engage inclusion, diversity and the politics of minority identities. They bring to the fore the region's diversity and sketches a 'museology of disaster' in which minoritised political subjects regain visibility.

Recensioner i media

This book applies the cutting-edge issues in museum studies today – questions of representation, inclusivity and ethics – to the study of cultural institutions in the Middle East and North Africa. Timely, innovative, probing and provocative, this volume makes a novel and long-overdue contribution. An essential book for those concerned with global museum studies, cultural rights, and the history of marginalised groups.
