Museums, Heritage And International Development (Routledge Studies In Culture And Development)

Along with other areas of "culture for development," the relationship between museums, heritage and international development has been underexamined from a critical and comparative perspective. This edited volume fills this lacuna and 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 particular case studies which range geographically 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. 9780415659512 0415659515 0 BOOK ART NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=WcdVLwEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
