Displays of Power Controversy in the American Museum from the Enola Gay to Sensation

"In his lively and insightful new book...sociologist Steven C. Dubin shows a consistent pattern of bumbling in four major museum battles between 1991 and 1998. Using an evenhanded journalistic approach and remarkably revealing interviews, Dubin documents how the institutions, run by idealistic and politically nave curators and exploited by conservative opponents, were marred by allowing minor conflicts to blow up into front-page stories."Dubin, Steven C. is the author of 'Displays of Power Controversy in the American Museum from the Enola Gay to Sensation', published 2001 under ISBN 9780814718902 and ISBN 0814718906.
