The museum and heritage industry has expanded as the past is exploited for commercial profit. In \u003cem\u003eThe Representation of the Past\u003c\/em\u003e, Kevin Walsh examines this international trend and questions the packaging of history which serves only to distance people from their own heritage. A superficial, unquestioning portrayal of the past, he feels, separates us from an understanding of our cultural and political present. Here, Walsh suggests a number of ways in which the museum can fulfill its potential - by facilitating our comprehension of cultural identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45237470560407,"sku":"9781138143487","price":12867.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138143487.webp?v=1769216656","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-representation-of-the-past-museums-and-heritage-in-the-post-modern-world-9781138143487","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
