From the personal library of a noted Papua New Guinea-based researcher, scholar, activist and teacher, Laura Tamakoshi, who has contributed seminal works and activism on a number of fronts for four decades. A fine edited reader in museum studies set in the insular Pacific, with chapters by Lissant Bolton, Lawrence Foana'ota, Sean Kingston, Diane Losche, Tate LeFevre, Nick Stanley, Eric Venbrux, Sebastian Haraha, Alison Dundon, Robert L. Welsch and Christina Kreps. From the publisher's blurb, "Indigenous museums and cultural centres have sprung up across the developing world, and particularly in the Southwest Pacific. They derive from a number of motives, ranging from the commercial to the cultural political (and many combine both). A close study of this phenomenon is not only valuable for museological practice but, as has been argued, it may challenge our current bedrock assumptions about the very nature and purpose of the museum. This book looks to the future of museum practice through examining how museums have evolved particularly in the non-western world to incorporate the present and the future in the display of culture. Of particular concern is the uses to which historic records are put in the service of community development and cultural renaissance." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. viii [2], 2-268 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.
