Synopsis

Public History, Gender, and Power in Latin American Museums brings together pioneering voices of women curators, museum professionals, and community leaders who are transforming the cultural landscape of Latin America.

Through first-hand testimonies and critical essays, this book examines how feminist approaches and public history practices are reshaping the politics of heritage, memory, and representation from the 1980s to the present. From Bolivia’s Museo Nacional de Etnografía y Folklore to Colombia’s Museo Itinerante de la Memoria and Guatemala’s Museo Ixkik’, this book promotes reflections that highlight collective efforts and diverse ways of narrating stories in public spaces. This book analyzes the local contexts where curatorial practices and cultural policies emerge, giving prominence to the women who lead museological projects and their transnational impact. It examines the role of these museum projects in the field of public history and in relation to the decolonization processes undertaken by various museums globally.

Public History, Gender, and Power in Latin American Museums: Women Curators and Cultural Leaders is an essential volume for students, activists, and researchers interested in museums, decolonial thought, feminism, and activism in Latin America.
