This is an important and very useful book for museum professionals and academics who are concerned with issues of community outreach and consultation. It will also appeal to communities and their representatives who are about to engage with museums in policy and exhibitions development. - Laurajane Smith, Australian National University At last, a book that goes beyond hopeful assertions about the value of community engagement, and really delves into the nitty-gritty of collaboration and representation, revealing the advantages - but also the challenges and risks - of working alongside, with, and for indigenous people. - Conal McCarthy, Victoria University, New Zealand
