The Postcolonial Museum The Arts of Memory and the Pressures of History

'Long overdue, here is a volume that updates and reconfigures the intersection of postcolonial critique with multiple interpretations of the museum and social praxis in globalisation. The Postcolonial Museum charts gaps, achievements and prospects in 20 chapters that re-interpret the connection of past and current imperialisms. Introducing a wealth of new voices, this is essential reading for anyone interested in curatorial practice and theory, modern and contemporary art, ethnography, museology and the interventionist potential of research in the humanities overall.' Angela Dimitrakaki, University of Edinburgh, UK 'The Postcolonial Museum as a whole decidedly fills a desideratum in the field of contemporary arts and museology, as it illustrates critical aspects of artistic production, circulation and reception across the world, and above all entwines transcultural and transnational encounters in the age of globalization.
