Presenting innovative field research conducted in new and emerging
human rights museums across Asia and Latin America, the book adopts
a broad museological approach. It does so by including national and
community museums, as well as public and private museological
initiatives, within its purview. Drawing on in-depth case studies
about museums in Taiwan, Japan, Paraguay and Colombia - all
discussed within their political and cultural contexts - the book
examines the paradigmatic shift that has occurred within the museum
field in the wake of the larger global transformations that have
shaped contemporary geopolitics over the last 50 years. The
diversity of geographical and political contexts, and the attention
to lesser-known institutions within the canon of English museum
studies literature, presents readers with a valuable opportunity to
learn more about innovative museological models in
non-English-speaking and non-Western contexts. Human Rights Museums
will appeal to academics, scholars and students of museum studies
and related disciplines, and to museum professionals seeking to
know more about the diverse and evolving roles of museums in
contemporary society.
