"What can we learn about nationalism by looking at a country's cultural institutions? How do the history and culture of particular cities explain how museums represent diversity? Artifacts and Allegiances takes us around the world to tell the compelling story of how museums today are making sense of immigration and globalization. Based on firsthand conversations with museum directors, curators, and policymakers; descriptions of exhibitions; and inside stories about the iconic objects that define collections across the globe, this work provides a close-up view of how different institutions balance nationalism and cosmpolitanism. Comparing museums in Europe, the United States, Asia, and the Middle East, Peggy Levitt offers a fresh perspective on the role of the museum in shaping citizens."--Page 4 of cover.
