Recenzii
A significant study of contemporary museological practices, offering a wealth of insights into how objects, images and exhibition spaces contribute to the politically charged field of commemoration and remembrance.
Williams's book offers a rigorous analysis of the key issues and should be read by anyone involved in a memorial project.
This book provides a critical survey of issues on memorial museums: what they contain; why they have proliferated worldwide in this particular sociopolitical epoch; the basis of their appeal for visitors; the effect that their creation might have on other kinds of museums and heritage sites; and if they will become a permanent feature of the urban landscape and of public historical consciousness.
Williams's work is best suited to for a specialized audience of graduate students, professors, and museum professionals. These readers will find an intellectually stimulating treatise that lays the groundwork for furture research in an area of museum studies that has not yet received much scholarly attention. Highly recommended.
Williams should be applauded for his breadth of material ... His argument is an important one that I hope opens up further investigations into the sites he mentions.
