The goals of many indigenous cultural centers and museums include preserving the heritage of the local population but also may involve capturing the tourist market. As they attempt to attain both goals they must create practices as they go, and sometimes must make compromises. Editor Stanley (art and design, U. of Central England) calls upon his and his contributors' extensive experience in both collection and display in Melanesia, Europe and North America to determine how these cultural centers and museums evolve and develop best practices, including those most likely to support community and cultural development. The case studies presented here come from island Melanesia, including the Solomon Islands, Southern New Ireland and New Caledonia, northern Australia, and New Guinea with examples of women's projects, museums for field workers, and even displays of violent events. The collection closes with comments on the future of indigenous museums. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
