Drawing on case studies and interviews from Croatia, Hungary, and
Turkey, the book investigates how the past has been exploited to
serve the interests of nationalism in the twenty-first century, and
how museums themselves are exploited to serve nationalist
ideologies. Arguing that museums have become the cultural offshoots
of political wars, Posocco demonstrates that they are now places
where the national past is contested, rewritten, sometimes even
created from scratch, and finally exhibited. The book also examines
the micro-sociological and political aspects, which will be the
foundation for further reflections on the macro dynamics of
museum-making in other countries and contexts. It provides rare and
interesting insights into how museums materialise culture in the
service of nationalism. The book will be of interest to those
engaged in the study of museums, heritage, nationalism, memory and
politics, as a result.
