- This monograph is the outcome of a 9 year period of research. It presents a long, contextualised, institutional history of the Smithsonian Institution's complex engagement with racial justice movements from 1840s to the 2010s. Using interviews, exhibition analysis, and extensive archival material, and tracing discursive developments in racism and museums in government, media and culture. This research gathered new evidence on the production and evolution of racism in American museums, and captures the implications for museums of a premature 'post-race' turn from the 1960s to the 2010s immediately prior to the Black Lives Matter movement.
