The 1980s and early 1990s have seen a marked increase in public
interest in our historic environment. The museum and heritage
industry has expanded as the past is exploited for commercial
profit. In The Representation of the Past, Kevin Walsh examines
this international trend and questions the packaging of history
which serves only to distance people from their own heritage. A
superficial, unquestioning portrayal of the past, he feels,
separates us from an understanding of our cultural and political
present. Here, Walsh suggests a number of ways in which the museum
can fulfill its potential - by facilitating our comprehension of
cultural identity.
