Synopsis

Aims to tackle the question of how we can encourage people to develop a deeper sense of community, in such a way that the process in itself does not promote exclusions of those who do not belong. The museum, this book argues, can and should increase toleration in an increasingly intolerant world.

Review

"The museum is placed in a forward looking position as an agent capable of pointing the way to enhanced cultural understanding... This endows the museum curator and exhibition designer with immense responsibilities, not only as the custodians of the past, but also as participants in the creation of a better future." - Professor Geoffrey Wall, University of Waterloo"
