Abstract
Traditional Museums have dominated the American landscape, but there exist hundreds of “Black Grassroots Museum” that are preserved by what African Diaspora museum specialist, Deborah Johnson-Simon, calls “kulture keepers;” these are everyday folk who dedicate themselves to protect and preserve the artifacts and stories of Black survival, ingenuity, resistance, and resiliency inside their homes, churches, or in community spaces, lest we forget.
期刊介绍:
Museum Anthropology seeks to be a leading voice for scholarly research on the collection, interpretation, and representation of the material world. Through critical articles, provocative commentaries, and thoughtful reviews, this peer-reviewed journal aspires to cultivate vibrant dialogues that reflect the global and transdisciplinary work of museums. Situated at the intersection of practice and theory, Museum Anthropology advances our knowledge of the ways in which material objects are intertwined with living histories of cultural display, economics, socio-politics, law, memory, ethics, colonialism, conservation, and public education.
