Museum Times : Changing Histories in South Africa, Hardback Book

Museum Times : Changing Histories in South Africa Hardback

Part of the Museums and Collections series

Hardback

Description

Museums flourished in post-apartheid South Africa. In older museums, there were renovations on the go, and at least fifty new museums opened.

Most sought to depict violence and suffering under apartheid and the growth of resistance.

These unlikely journeys are tracked as museums became a primary setting for contesting histories.

From the renowned Robben Island Museum to the almost unknown Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum, the author demonstrates how an institution concerned with the conservation of the past is simultaneously a site for changing history.
