Displays of Power Memory and Amnesia in the American Museum

"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 Memory and Amnesia in the American Museum' with ISBN 9780814718896 and ISBN 0814718892.
