Sinopsis

Rise of Museums explores the fascinating evolution of museums from private collections to influential cultural institutions, revealing how they reflect shifting social values and power dynamics. Early museums arose from Renaissance-era cabinets of curiosities and Enlightenment-era scientific societies. They were fueled by a desire to classify the natural world and showcase personal wealth, eventually laying the groundwork for the public museums we know today. 

 
The book analyzes the modern museum's development in the 19th and 20th centuries, shaped by nationalism, colonialism, and industrialization. Museums became tools for nation-building, vehicles for asserting cultural dominance, and spaces for public education. 

 
It addresses contemporary challenges such as repatriation and digital engagement, examining how museums adapt to changing demographics and grapple with colonial legacies. Structured around three core themes, Rise of Museums traces the trajectory of these cultural institutions while critically exploring the social, political, and economic forces that shaped them. Using a range of primary and secondary sources, including museum archives and exhibition reviews, this book provides a balanced account of the complex history, highlighting both achievements and shortcomings across its chapters.

But Guy dreams of making a future in America, alongside his cousin Frank who immigrated a few years earlier. 
    So when a mysterious stranger shows up at Guy’s door saying that Frank has paid for a boat ride across the Atlantic, how could Guy refuse? But there’s a catch—he must leave immediately, with no bags and no goodbyes.

    In this fully revised and updated third edition of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom and Maura Elizabeth Cunningham provide cogent answers to urgent questions regarding the world's newest superpower and offer a framework for understanding China's meteoric rise from developing country to superpower. Framing their answers through the historical legacies—Confucian thought, Western and Japanese imperialism, the Mao era, and the Tiananmen Square massacre—that largely define China's present-day trajectory, Wasserstrom and Cunningham introduce listeners to the Chinese Communist Party, the building boom in Shanghai, and the environmental fallout of rapid Chinese industrialization. They also explain unique aspects of Chinese culture, such as the one-child policy, and provide insight into Chinese-American relations, a subject that has become increasingly fraught during the Trump era. As Wasserstrom and Cunningham draw parallels between China and other industrialized nations during their periods of development, in particular the United States during its rapid industrialization in the 19th century, they also predict how we might expect China to act in the future vis-à-vis the United States, Russia, India, and its East Asian neighbors.

  • Becoming Kin - An Indigenous Call to Unforgetting the Past and Reimagining Our Future - cover

    Becoming Kin - An Indigenous...

    The invented history of the Western world is crumbling fast, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec says, but we can still honor the bonds between us. Settlers dominated and divided, but Indigenous peoples won't just send them all "home." 
     
     
     
    Weaving her own story with the story of her ancestors and with the broader themes of creation, replacement, and disappearance, Krawec helps listeners see settler colonialism through the eyes of an Indigenous writer. Settler colonialism tried to force us into one particular way of living, but the old ways of kinship can help us imagine a different future. Krawec asks, What would it look like to remember that we are all related? How might we become better relatives to the land, to one another, and to Indigenous movements for solidarity? Braiding together historical, scientific, and cultural analysis, Indigenous ways of knowing, and the vivid threads of communal memory, Krawec crafts a stunning, forceful call to "unforget" our history. 
     
     
     
    This remarkable sojourn through Native and settler history, myth, identity, and spirituality helps us retrace our steps and pick up what was lost along the way: chances to honor rather than violate treaties, to see the land as a relative rather than a resource, and to unravel the history we have been taught.
