Museums and Sites of Persuasion
edited by Joyce Apsel and Amy Sodaro
(Routledge 2019).

(One chapter is open access.)
 
Museums and Sites of Persuasion examines the concept of museums and memory sites as locations that attempt to promote human rights, democracy and peace. Demonstrating that such sites have the potential to act as powerful spaces of persuasion or contestation, the book also shows that there are perils in the selective memory and history that they present.
