[edit] MAKING REPRESENTATIONS
This new and revised edition looks at the controversy of how traditional western museums have represented non-western cultures. With a new epilogue by the author, this book continues to influence global museum policy.
Responses to controversial exhibitions in recent years have demonstrated the dissatisfaction felt by many concerning the way that traditional western museums have represented non-western cultures. Ethnic groups have criticised museums for misrepresenting historical events and cultural practices, and excluding them from the very process of interpreting their cultures. One of the most controversial and contentious issues is that of repatriation: indigenous peoples, such as Native Americans and Aboriginal Australians, have demanded that sacred objects and human remains be removed from display and returned to their culture of origin. This new and revised version of Making Representations explores the way western museums are reacting to these pressures by developing new policies and practices and forging new relationships with communities. Full consideration is now given to recent changes in repatriation legislation in Australia and the USA. A new introduction from the author refreshes a work that has already greatly influenced global policy and perspectives on representation in the post-colonial museum.
