The controversy surrounding the significant "Into the Heart of
Africa" exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada is explored
in this compelling and analytical text. The exhibit has become an
international, controversial touchstone for issues surrounding the
politics of visual representation, such as the challenges to
curatorial and ethnographic authority in multicultural and
postcolonial contexts. Asking why the museum's exhibit failed so
many people, the author examines such issues as institutional
politics, the broad political and intellectual climate surrounding
museums, the legacies of colonialism and traditions of
representation of Africa, and the politics of irony. By drawing
upon anthropological and cultural criticism, the book offers a
unique account of the ways in which an ambiguous exhibit about
colonialism became the site of an expansiveInto the Heart of
Africa."
