Book Review

Museum Frictions: Public Cultures/Global Transformations. Ed. by Ivan Karp, Corinne A. Kratz, Lynn Szwaja, and Tomás Ybarra-Frausto. (Durham: Duke University Press, 2006. xxii, 602 pp. Cloth, $99.95, ISBN 978-0-8223-3878-9. Paper, $27.95, ISBN 978-0-8223-3894-9.)

This is the third publication in a series edited by Ivan Karp and various colleagues on issues of museum interpretation that grew out of conferences and meetings funded by the Rockefeller Foundation. Two earlier books, Exhibiting Cultures (1991) and Museums and Communities (1992), helped focus critical analysis on the changing paradigms of museum practice. Museum Frictions continues that model by addressing issues of museum interpretation in a postmodern context, looking at international models to suggest how globalization is shaping the development of museums.
