Making Representations explores the complex issues of cross-cultural interpretation within the context of museums and the impact of increasing collaboration between museums and communities. First published in 1996, the book has been revised and expanded with a new epilogue which describes the most recent developments in heritage preservation and museum repatriation policy in Australia, the USA and the UK at the birth of the new millennium.
This revised edition analyses the stumbling responses within Australia to calls for Aboriginal reconciliation, State and Federal Government reactions to Aboriginal demands for the protection of sacred sites and the repatriation of human remains. It describes the UK research which analysed museum policies and staff attitudes and which contributed to the publication of repatriation and restitution guidelines. Finally, it summarizes the impact of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act in the USA, ten years after implementation.

Industry Reviews

'Making Representations is a beautifully double-edged title. It expresses the activity of museums as they display and interpret cultures, but also voices the growing demands of the peoples represented to be involved in the way their culture is presented in museums.' - Museums Journal

'The book is well presented and illustrated. This is a genuinely helpful contribution to museum thinking and should become a standard museum studies text.' - Gaynor Kavanagh, University of Leicester
