Robert. A place to remember: Using history to build
community. Nashville, AltaMira Press, 1999. 223
p. (AASLH series). ISBN 0-7619-8943-9.
The
author, a well-known public historian, through his
personal experience, explores the intersections of
history, memory and community and reveals how we participate
in the making and sustaining of community. He illustrates
how we are active participants in the past and the
role and importance of history in contemporary life.
This book, which contains ideas on which to base activities,
will interest museum professionals concerned in strengthening
their community.

Nation: a reader. Histories, heritage, museums.

0-415-20870-X.
This
book gathers key contributions on how the nation is
constructed and represented. What role do cultural
institutions play in creating and shaping our sense
of national identity and of belonging to a nation?
With an international perspective, the contributors
investigate whether cultural artefacts can represent
individuals equally, as members of a given nation.

the role of objects in national identity. London;
New York, Leicester University Press, 1994. xi, 430
p., ill., bibl., index. ISBN: 0-7185-1775-X.
This
volume presents 14 essays which constitute case studies
from countries such as Nigeria, Brazil, Australia,
Saudi Arabia, etc., and examine the role of museums
in creating and maintaining cultural and national
identity. Museums are social institutions and, as
such, agents of social change. Thought-provoking questions,
considered in the context of different possible responses
and solutions, are the core of this work. Can a nation
lose its culture? Do Pacific Islanders really want
museums? What should one do with important religious,
social, political objects when ideas and contexts
change? Is the establishment of a museum the best
solution? Who has the right to control and manage
heritage? Who can speak for culture? Is democratisation
of culture a good thing? Are museums too politically
correct and on the path to Disneyland?
