Imagining Asia : Cultural Citizenship and Nation Building in the National Museums of Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau Paperback / softback
by Emily Stokes-Rees
Part of the Asian Cultural Studies: Transnational and Dialogic Approaches series
Paperback / softback
Description
Despite widespread recognition that we are living in an era of mass globalization, there has been a startling resurgence of nationalism in many regions of the world.
Alongside this development, many new national museums are being built or refurbished, pointing to the critical role the telling of history plays in processes of building national identity.
From new museum construction to the re-purposing of colonial monuments, and from essentialized narratives to spaces which encourage visitors to dream, this book explores the development and influence of national museums in three contemporary Asian societies – Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau.
