Content:
Focusing on the interaction between history and memory and, in particular, on museums as a memory medium, this book deals with the memorialization of the Highland Clearances over the twentieth century. It presents a typology of Clearance narratives and shows that the politics of the land has impacted on interpretive repertoires, whilst Clearance exhibitions increasingly focus on a transnational perspective foregrounding Highlanders and Islanders abroad.
Note:
Description based upon print version of record.
