Description
Over the past 25 years, a new type of cultural institution has emerged: the memorial museum. These institutions seek to research, represent, commemorate and teach about violent histories, with a focus on genocide, state repression, apartheid, terrorism, and other forms of human rights abuses.
This book is the first comprehensive study of these institutions, which vary widely in size, style and political context but share a common goal: promoting peace, tolerance and avoiding future violence. By analyzing the tactics of memorial museums across different nations and contexts, this book sheds light on their public significance and wider impact.
