Description

Book Synopsis

Critical Issues in Caribbean Museums examines the challenges faced within the field of Caribbean Museology. Museums are sites of heritage management and, within Caribbean contexts, essential spaces for the examination of postcolonial relationships to past disenfranchisement.

This book helps to identify strategies within museology that can inspire meaningful collective engagement with these histories. In the process, it also identifies the hurdles museums in the Caribbean face when telling stories of ancestral oppression. Each chapter presents a new case study, written by five museum professionals and scholars fundamentally shaping conversations on cultural heritage spaces within the Caribbean and the diaspora of Caribbean nations. Using their observations this book coalesces an understanding of the specific limitations Caribbean cultural heritage spaces face and deploys new strategies for maximising their engagement potential.

Critical Issues in Caribbean Museums is written for Museum Studies researchers and museum practitioners, especially those actively engaged in the process of preserving Caribbean cultural heritage, advancing museum development in the Caribbean or in other nations for future generations.
