Independent Museums and Culture Centres in Colonial and Post-colonial ZimbabweNon-State Players, Local Communities, and Self-Representation\nAuthor(s): Thomas Panganayi Thondhlana, Jesmael Mataga, Dawson Munjeri\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367621711, 978-0367621711\nSynopsis\nIndependent Museums and Culture Centres in Colonial and Post-colonial Zimbabwe presents case studies that grapple with the issue of decolonising practice in privately owned museums and cultural centres in Zimbabwe.\n\nIncluding contributions from academics and practitioners, this book focusses on privately run cultural institutions and highlights that there has, until now, been scant scholarly information about their existence and practice. Arguing that the recent resurgence of such museums, which are not usually obliged to endorse official narratives of the central government, points to some desire to decolonise and indigenise museums,.
