图书描述

Review

"An outstanding and original book which deals both authoritatively and perceptively with an important but hitherto rather neglected aspect of imperial cultures. It is engrossing, deeply informative and beautifully written. There is no doubt that it will make a valuable contribution to scholarship across a range of disciplines, as well as enhancing the well-established Studies in Imperialism series." --Dr. Nigel Rigby, National Maritime Museum

"Only a mature scholar with the range and experience possessed by someone like MacKenzie could have taken this on, and it is most welcome that he has done so. MacKenzie brings to the task the qualities that mark him out as our foremost historian of the cultures and ideology of empire: enormous span, considerable powers of synthesis, and an eye that is ever alert to significant detail. As ever, he presents his research with consummate ease and style." --Professor Saul Dubow, University of Sussex

From the Back Cover

Museums and Empire is the first book to examine the origins and development of museums in six major regions if the British Empire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It analyses museum histories in thirteen major centres in Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India and South-East Asia, setting them into the economic and social contexts of the cities and colonies in which they were located. Written in a lively and informative style, it also touches upon the history of many other museums in Britain and other territories of the Empire. A number of key themes emerge from its pages; the development of elites within colonial towns and cities; the emergence of the full range of cultural institutions associated with this; and the reception and modification of the key scientific ideas of the age. A major theme is the shift from natural history to ethnographic collecting, which generates key ideas upon the emergence of new colonial identities by the beginning of the twentieth century. There is also some discussion of international and imperial networks, of the development of a professionalized museum staff, as well as of display techniques to attract the public and create educational programmes. The book is illustrated in order to illustrate points about museum architecture. It will be essential reading for all those concerned with museum studies and imperial history, at undergraduate and postgraduate level, as well as among scholars in these fields. It will also be of interest to a wider public devoted to the cause of museums and heritage
