Abstract:
Historically, an important role of museums has been to contribute to national homogenization. The book specifically deals with how the Swedish museum sector of culture and history addresses new demands from a society that is profoundly characterized by migration and cultural diversity. Besides the museums' representations of migration and cultural diversity, the book also examines how changes in the museum sector relate to general policy developments in the fields of culture, integration and minorities. The book also discusses whether and how museums are open for dialogue and collaboration with migrants and ethnic minorities and the kinds of problems museums encounter in their efforts to be more inclusive. Christina Johansson is a senior lecturer in International Migration and Ethnic Relations at Malmö University and has for several years been affiliated to the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for European History and Public Spheres in Vienna. In addition to her studies of how museums address issues of migration and diversity, she has published extensively on the relations between state, nation, migration policy and the representation of migration. She is currently engaged in a research project concerning the collaboration between museums and schools to educate schoolchildren about diversity.
