Museums and Sites of Persuasion

Politics, Memory and Human Rights

Herausgeber: Apsel, Joyce; Sodaro, Amy

Beschreibung

Museums and Sites of Persuasion examines the concept of museums and memory sites as locations that attempt to promote human rights, democracy and peace. Demonstrating that such sites may act as powerful spaces of persuasion or contestation, the book also shows that there are perils in the selective history that they present.
