Books Reviews

Conal McCarthy, who is a Professor at the Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, reviewed Christina Kreps's Museums and Anthropology in the Age of Engagement for Museum Worlds and described it as a 'beautifully written and richly illustrated monograph'. He also commented that 'as a scholar of museum studies I found the deft historicized analysis of museum anthropology’s prehistory one of the most illuminating I have ever read.' You can find out more about the book here.
Paulette Wallace, who is Heritage Assets Manager at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, reviewed a number of titles from the Museums in Focus Series for Museum Worlds. Paulette had this to say about the series: 'The Museums in Focus series is a call to action that places museum studies on the front-foot ready to engage, respond, and lead-out on discourses shaped by critical contemporary issues—the key for
any future critical political writing will be the timeliness of the publication cycle of these short yet dynamic texts.' The Series Editor of this series is Kylie Message, who is Professor of Public Humanities at Australian National University and you can find more about the series here.
