"Elizabeth Crooke argues that a much closer examination of the concept of community, and the significance of museums to different communities is needed, if both sides are to get the most out of each other's resources. She uses research from across the social sciences, together with case studies on areas such as Northern Ireland, South Africa, and North America to illustrate her argument. Here the politicisation of local populations highlights the complex issues faced by both museums and local groups, who have different ideas about what is appropriate and necessary in the museum context."
