Taken together, this collection of ideas, opinions, and experiences, ably interpreted by Selma Holo and Mari-Tere Álvarez, argues that museums in the Americas are willing not only to do the hard work to become vital and nimble places that address contemporary social justice issues but also to put words into action."—Marjorie Schwarzer, Museum Studies Program, University of San Francisco "Selma Holo and Mari-Tere Álvarez bring together thought leaders from around the Americas to share their experiences, desires, and predictions for the future of the museum field. Like a best-practice museum, this book is organized to allow for multiple entry points to address a broad range of inquiries and interests among its readers. It will ignite many more conversations about our field’s leaders and the role museums must play in a civil society."—Melody Kanschat, Executive Director, Getty Leadership Institute Zusammenfassung Celebrating the diversity of institutions in the United States, Latin America, and Canada, this book aims to change the discourse about museums from the inside out, proposing a new, "panarchic"-nonhierarchical and adaptive-vision for museum practice.
