Abstract
The National museums negociating histories conference considered how competing understandings of national histories are presented and negociated through exhibitions and other public programs in museums. Subjects were: national museums in a postcolonial world, with examples from Australia, South-Africa and Germany; people and nation, for instance exhibiting indigenous histories in Australian museums, decolonisation in Canadian museums, the dilemmas of a local history museum in KwaZulul-Natal, South Afica or the representation of Maori culture in New Zeeland; the 'global' and the 'local': the place of environmental history in national museums. Recensie verschenen in: Boekmancahier.13(2001)49(sep.392-395).
