By critically examining museum theory, it advocates for a radical reimagining of museums' rhetoric on decolonization, as well as their public image and practices. Through a compilation of reflections on decolonization observed through the lens of museum performance and discourse, the author explores current practices in response to the social claims of marginalized groups and activists. Drawing from a genealogy of decolonial thinking in museology, Brulon Soares uncovers the inherent paradoxes inherent in museum work. Rather than solely focusing on the realities of colonized countries or the contexts of former imperialist nations, this book raises anticolonial questions and seeks to find common ground among the diverse actors involved in museums: scholars, students, curators, practitioners, community members, and Indigenous creators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the central objectives of this book is to perceive the museum as a site for multiple enunciations, thereby identifying the active potential within museum practice to reconnect subjectivities and restore material fluxes, thereby repairing the bonds that have been frayed by colonialism and the expanding forces of modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Anticolonial Museum holds immense appeal to researchers and students actively engaged in the study of decolonization. Moreover, it serves as an essential resource for practitioners seeking to reevaluate the impact of coloniality on their own position and daily practices. By delving into the complexities of colonialism and its enduring legacies, this book offers valuable insights and perspectives that can contribute to the ongoing efforts towards decolonization and the pursuit of a more equitable and inclusive world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 155 x 234 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032437941\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruno BrulonSoares","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44526024622330,"sku":"9781032437941","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692378953574_book.jpg?v=1693392633","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-anticolonial-museum-reclaiming-our-colonial-heritage-9781032437941","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
