Museums as Agents for Social Change is the first comprehensive text
to examine museum practice in a decolonised moment, moving beyond
known roles of object collection and presentation. Drawing on
studies of Mutare museum, a regional museum in Eastern Zimbabwe,
this book considers how museums with inherited colonial legacies
are dealing with their new environments. The book provides an
examination of Mutare museum's activism in engaging with topical
issues affecting its surrounding community and Chipangura and
Mataga demonstrate how new forms of engagement are being deployed
to attract new audiences, whilst dealing with issues such as
economic livelihoods, poverty, displacement, climate change and
education. Illustrating how recent programmes have helped to
reposition Mutare museum as a decolonial agent of social change and
an important community anchor institution, the book also
demonstrates how other museums can move beyond the colonial
preoccupation with the gathering of collections, conservation and
presentation of cultural heritage to the public. Museums as Agents
for Social Change will primarily be of interest to academics and
students working in the fields of museum and heritage studies,
history, archaeology and anthropology. It should also be appealing
to museum professionals around the world who are interested in
learning more about how to decolonise their museum.
