Book Synopsis
Tells the story of Johannesburg's MuseumAfrica, a South African history museum that embodies one of the most dynamic and fraught stories of colonialism and postcolonialism, its life spanning the eras before, during, and after apartheid. This title focuses on racism and its institutionalization in South Africa.

Trade Review
"There is something fresh, rewarding, and even courageous in Sara Byala's approach. She not only manages to reconstruct the history of MuseumAfrica but also demonstrates quite clearly that none of the new museums in South Africa today were created without some institutional (or bureaucratic) connection to it." (Christopher B. Steiner, Connecticut College)"
