Reviews
"An illuminating study that will be of interest to academics and museum professionals working in the field today." Publishers Weekly "Ambitious, well-written, and significant." Library Journal "Experimental - interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, self-critical, heterodox - approaches to art will have to be tried out if an audience for history, which is only as alive as our sense of investment in it, is not to be lost. (For a comparative look at some recent methods, I recommend Peggy Levitt's 'Artifacts and Allegiances: How Museums Put the Nation and the World on Display,'" -- Holland Cotter New York Times "Artifacts and Allegiances is a compelling narrative whose insight and passion is well-supported by rich and rigorous sociological analysis, ultimately offering a welcome contribution to scholars across disciplines interested in museums, global politics, and the culture of place."
