Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Folklife and Museums: Twenty-First Century Perspectives (American Association for State and Local History)

Much has changed in the fields of museology and folklife during the past 30 years, when Folklife and Museums: Selected Readings was first published by Aaslh Press in 1987. Folklife and Museums: Twenty-First Century Perspectives is a brand new collection of cutting-edge essays that combine theoretical insights, practical applications, topical case studies (focusing on particular subject matter areas and specific cultural groups), accompanied by up-to-date “resources” and “suggested readings” sections. Each essay is preceded by an explanatory headnote contextualizing the essay and includes illustrative photographs.
