"This book draws on the practical experience of the West African Museums Programme in encouraging the establishment of museums which are responsive to local needs." "Museums, as institutions of cultural importance, should be responsive to the needs of the community. They can contribute in vital ways to its growth and development." "The contributors show that in the preservation of the cultural heritage of the community, the focal responsibility falls more on the local museums than on the centrally-controlled national museums. The running of local museums must harmonise with the national museum." "The contributors have wide experience in countries right across West Africa and provide examples of imaginative ways to respond to local needs. They also give practical advice on such basic matters as staff training, security and the legal framework, without which little can be achieved."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

National Museums in Africa brings the voices of African museum professionals into dialogue with scholars and, by so doing, is able to consider the state of African national museums from fresh perspectives. Covering all regions of the continent, the volume’s thirteen chapters allow for a deep and nuanced understanding of the intricate interplay between past and present in contemporary Africa. Taking stock of the shifting museum landscape in Africa, with new players like China and South Korea challenging the conditions of cultural exchange, the book demonstrates that national museums are being rediscovered as important sites of political engagement and cultural negotiation. This is the first book to critically examine the roles national museums in Africa have played in the societies in which they are situated, but it is also the first to consider the roles that national museums might play in current debates concerning the restitution and repatriation of cultural patrimony taken from Africa during the colonial era. Informed by a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective, this ground-breaking book will appeal to anyone interested in museums in Africa. It will be particularly useful to scholars and students working in the areas of museum and heritage studies, African studies, anthropology, archaeology, history, art history and cultural studies.
