It shifts critical museology into a new register by challenging readers to think about the multiple ways that the globalization of a Western institution is transforming not only the dynamics of social interaction around the world but also the institutional nature of the museum itself.”—\u003cb\u003eRuth B.

In the face of dramatic changes in the museum world during the past fifteen years, the last two volumes still remain a major platform for framing debate. I am confident that \u003ci\u003eMuseum Frictions\u003c\/i\u003e will provide a similar service for the next fifteen.”—\u003cb\u003eDoran H.

This is a wonderful book that must be read by anybody with an interest in museums, their transformations, dilemmas, challenges, politics, and futures.”—\u003cb\u003eSharon Macdonald\u003c\/b\u003e, editor of \u003ci\u003eA Companion to Museum Studies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This marvelous and broad-ranging compendium by an eminent group of scholars provides a thinking person’s guide to contemporary museum work. It tackles the philosophical issues curators, directors, and professionals face in the art of cultural representation. How do you get the world’s diverse people to talk to each other in meaningful and significant ways? This book provides the intellectual tools for doing so, dealing cogently and adeptly with the complexity of globalization, conflicting perspectives, and the noise proffered by popular media. For a long book with large themes, it reads amazingly well.”—\u003cb\u003eRichard Kurin\u003c\/b\u003e, Director of the Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, Smithsonian Institution\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword \/ Lynn Szwaja and Tomás Ybarra-Frausto xi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Preface: Museum Frictions: A Project History \/ Ivan Karp and Corinne A.
