Reviews

""Moldavanova delivers a timely text on the role of culture and cultural institutions in forging a greater sense of sustainability within society From cover to cover, Moldavanova provides an insightful text chock-full of contextual examples and narrative vignettes. Readers cannot help but be drawn into stories addressing issues such as social connectedness, moral language, institutional adaptations, and social and community relevance, to name a few."" — CHOICE ""The Overlooked Pillar is an attempt to synthesize and conceptualize the intersection between culture and sustainability. In contrast to other treatments of this topic, which tend to be case-focused, approaching this intersection in ways that are unsystematic, Moldavanova addresses this issue more systematically, taking into account not only different types of organizations, but also different sectors. This makes The Overlooked Pillar stand apart."" — Jonathan Paquette, author of Museum-Making in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia: Cultural Institutions and Policies from Colonial to Post-Colonial Times
