Contesting Human Remains in Museum Collections: The Crisis of Cultural Authority - Routledge Research in Museum Studies
Jenkins, Tiffany (Institute of Ideas, London, UK)
This book examines why human remains in museum collections have become controversial in the last three decades. It establishes that the issue has been promoted by influential members of the sector as part of a broader attempt to distance themselves from their foundational role as a consequence of a crisis of cultural authority.
