Résumé:

"Museums, Society, Inequality explores the wide-ranging social roles and responsibilities of the museum. It brings together diverse international perspectives from across the globe, which collectively seek to stimulate critical debate, to inform the work of practitioners and policy makers, and to advance recognition of the agency of museums. This unusual collection gives valuable insight on the museum's relationship to the outside community, and its essential role as a social institution that influences, and must respond to, the changing characteristics and concerns of society."
