Description

Global Mobilities explores the role of museums and archives in the politics of integration and cultural diversity and their efforts to further the inclusion of racial and ethnic minority populations. Global case studies examine conflicts inherent in this work, such as whether assimilation, integration, or another model is ideal. Chapters provide diverse perspectives, including not only the voices of museum practitioners and scholars, but also those of artists, visitors, undocumented immigrants, and other members of source communities, making Global Mobilities an often provocative volume which offers a comprehensive overview of the field.
