Book Description:
Up from Africaexplores the way natural history museum audiences imagine theirevolutionary heritage and how meaning is constructed as a result of adynamic interplay between museum iconography, and the powerfulpreconceptions they bring with them.
Through the use quantitativeand qualitative methods, involving detailed visitor studies, Scottprovides rare insights into visitor perceptions at four world-classmuseums and makes a distinctive argument that audiences of humanorigins exhibitions make ancestral meaning through a profoundly complexconvergence of personal, political, intellectual, emotional andcultural interpretative strategies.
Up from Africa givesa fuller understanding about how museums visitors interpret theexhibitions, the methodologies used to uncover visitor perceptions, andhow to improve upon the relationship between museums and communities.
