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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“…the most thorough examination to date of museums in the south-west Pacific…The book should serve as a valuable resource for museum studies students, academics, historians, museum professionals and development agencies interested in museums and the cultural heritage of Indigenous people in the south-west Pacific.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  Recollections\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003cbr\u003e \tEditorial Preface\u003cbr\u003e \tby \u003ci\u003eHirini Mead\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indigeneity and Museum Practice in the Southwest Pacific\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eNick Stanley\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I: ISLAND MELANESIA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Resourcing Change: Fieldworkers, the Women’s Culture Project and the Vanuatu Cultural Centre\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eLissant Bolton\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e The Future of Indigenous Museums: The Solomon Islands Case\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eLawrence Foana‘ota\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Dangerous Heritage: Southern New Ireland, the Museum and the Display of the Past\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSean Kingston\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Memory, Violence and Representation in the Tjibaou Cultural Centre, New Caledonia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDiane Losche\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e Tourism and Indigenous Curation of Culture in Lifou, New Caledonia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eTate LeFevre\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART II: NORTHERN AUSTRALIA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e The Journey of the Stars: \u003ci\u003eGab Titui\u003c\/i\u003e, a Cultural Centre for the Torres Strait\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAnita Herle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJude Philp\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLeilani Bin Juda\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e ‘Quite Another World of Aboriginal Life’: Indigenous People in an Evolving Museumscape\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eEric Venbrux\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART III: NEW GUINEA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e The Papua New Guinea National Museum and Art Gallery as a Modern \u003ci\u003eHaus Tumbuna\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSebastian Haraha\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e Moving the Centre: Christianity, the Longhouse and the Gogodala Cultural Centre\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAlison Dundon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/b\u003e Indigenous Responses to Political and Economic Challenges: the \u003ci\u003eBabek Bema Yoma\u003c\/i\u003e at Teptep, Papua New Guinea\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eChristin Kocher Schmid\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/b\u003e Can Museums become Indigenous?
