The 1970s saw the emergence and subsequent proliferation across the
Arabian Peninsula of 'national museums', institutions aimed at
creating social cohesion and affiliation to the state within a
disparate population. Representing the Nation examines the
wide-ranging use of exhibitionary forms of national identity
projection via consideration of their motivations, implications
(current and future), possible historical backgrounds, official and
unofficial meanings, and meanings for both the user/visitor and the
multiple creators. The book responds to, due to the importance
placed on tradition, heritage and national identity across all the
states of the Peninsula, and the growth of re-imagined and new
museums, the need for far greater discussion and research in these
areas.
