Reviews
"By focusing on the re-presentation of social memory through cultural production in South African museums, Steve C. Dubin is able to expose the contradictions fundamental to apartheid and their evolution in its transformation. His intimate knowledge and loving, careful analysis of his material--most of it will be new to western readers--also allows us to contemplate the racial and class complexity of our own cultural institutions as we reimagine their importance for the twenty-first century."--Carol Becker, Dean of Faculty, School of the Art Institute of Chicago; author of Surpassing the Spectacle: Global Transformations and the Changing Politics of Art .  "I came away [from reading Transforming Museums ] with the view not only that every museum worker in South Africa should read this book, but that those dealing with anything even remotely political - especially anything touching upon race or contentious history - should do so too."--Sharon MacDonald, Sheffield University "Steven C. Dubin has revealed why he is widely recognized as a leader in the critique of museum policy. By looking through the prism of South African cultural policy at a moment of uncertainty and transformation, Dubin is able to reveal the tensions that often pass unnoticed elsewhere in more stable moments. This is an engaging, witty, and provocative demonstration of how museums matter in shaping social life. It is a must read for anyone interested in cultural policy, in Southern Africa, and in the linkage of art and history."--Gary Alan Fine, John Evans Professor of Sociology, Northwestern University; Author of Everyday Genius: Self-Taught Art and the Culture of Authenticity "An extraordinarily important contribution to the study of post-apartheid museums in South Africa. This book will be required reading for anyone interested in the politics of representation, the negotiation of national and cultural identity, and the construction of public memory in post-colonial societies and their museums." --Christopher B. Steiner, Director of Museum Studies, Connecticut College "Steven C. Dubin's Transforming Museums is a state of the art study of how museums and monuments have engaged in the work of social and political transformation in South Africa, and how they are negotiating the problems and possibilities brought about by the remarkable events that changed the very nature of society and identity in South Africa. Dubin examines almost all of the major museums and monument sites in South Africa, interviews the major actors and assesses the possibilities for the future. This study is an indispensable guide to the politics of culture and identity in the South African public sphere, and a must for anyone interested in museums outside of Europe and America. There is nothing else like it." --Ivan Karp, National Endowment for the Humanities Professor, Director of the Center for the Study of Public Scholarship, Emory University  , "By focusing on the re-presentation of social memory through cultural production in South African museums, Steve C.
