There has been much academic interest in the role of museums as
places where understanding of the past is shaped and legitimised
for a wide and increasingly diverse public. This book focuses on
the museum representations of the Highland Clearances - a much
neglected aspect of one of the most disputed and
politically-charged issues in modern Scottish history. Drawing
together a range of inter-disciplinary themes and notions, it
considers the cultural legacy of the period, brings to light the
socially and historically conditioned meanings and values
encapsulated in museum narratives of the Clearances, and shows the
significance of collective memory in the negotiations inherent in
heritage work. Examining both national and local museums in
Scotland and concluding with comparisons with Australian museums of
migration, Dynamics of Heritage contributes to our understanding of
the processes of heritage construction, and its relationship to
issues of memory and other modes of engagement with the past.
