About the book

Using case studies drawn from all areas of museum studies; history, anthropology and archaeology, "Museums and their communities" explores the museums as a site of representation, identity and memory, and considers how it can influence its community. Focusing on the museum as an institution, and its social and cultural setting, Sheila Watson examines how museums use their roles and informers and educators to empower, or ignore, communities.
