Omschrijving
Case-studies of whether and how heritage can be used to bring about reconciliation.
The need for all cultural and educational institutions to respond to UNESCO's call for 'moral and intellectual solidarity' in support of peace and reconciliation at every level, from the local to global, becomes more evident by the day. This volume is hopeful, in that it contains inspiring accounts drawn from a vast network of cultural institutions and workers who are indeed doing this every day. Some in the face of almost insuperable odds...Highly readable.
The volume offers a broad spectrum of means engagement of museum and heritage actors with peace-building aims. Its greatest strength is the variety of expertise represented, these include museum curators, academics, and activists but also a business psychologist, an exhibition designer, an architect, an environmental planner and consultants in innovative training, participation design as well as persons leading NGO work.
[T]he book is an encouraging collection of ideas and initiatives that explore the constructive role of heritage in making peace in the minds of humankind.
