New book on Museums and Ethnicity

Via Museum-L:
This groundbreaking book brings together a collection of essays on the revolution taking place in museums around the world as they look anew at the ways communities are represented. It highlights a fundamental shift occurring in 21st century museums: how they confront existing assumptions about people, and the pioneering ways they work with specific groups to narrate oral histories, tell ancestral stories and keep memories from the past alive.

Among the fifteen highly-respected authors sharing their analysis and experience are:
* Kate Craddy, Director of the Galicia Jewish Museum, Poland
* Victoria Dickenson, Chief Knowledge Officer, Canadian Museum for Human Rights
* Annette B Fromm, Associate Professor and Coordinator of Museum Studies, Florida International University and President of the International Committee of Museums of Ethnography.
* Carmita Icasiano, Curator and Collections Manager, Cultural Centre of the Philippines
Magdalena Mieri, Director of the Program in Latino History & Culture, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution
* Alison Taylor, Head of Inclusion and Diversity, Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry
* Dr Marzia Varutti, Honorary Visiting Fellow, School of Museum Studies, University of Leicester.
