3.0 out of 5 stars
The "Friction" is Academic,
By Nw MT Historical Society "Executive Director" (Kalispell, Montana, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Museum Frictions: Public Cultures/Global Transformations (Paperback)
While I found a few gems and insights, this 600-plus page tome needed a good book editor to boil it down to maybe 200 pages. It appears a bunch of noted academics were trying to appear, well, academic, and they succeeded. Single sentences the length of paragraphs, simple words with superfluous suffixes added--I kept saying to myself, "just say it already--stop trying to impress me with how you can bury a simple point in a massive flood of verbage." I reccommend the first book in this series, "Exhibiting Cultures: The Poetics and Politics of Museum Display" (1991) as being much more accessible and helpful.
