Nakou, I. (2009). Museums, Histories and History. Athens: Nissos. (ISBN 978-960-8392-68-7)

 

The book explores the interrelations between History and Museums, in the context of the multiple uses of History in the public sphere, and the implications of the educational role of museums in the shaping of historical literacy and relevant historical ideas and performances. It refers to current museological issues, to issues relating to Material Culture Theory, Oral History and the complicated relations between Memory and History, public histories and History, as a special disciplinary way of understanding "reality".
