Description

It sounds like you're referring to "Museological Pedagogy: Colonial Politics versus Peoples’ Museography" by Anand Burdhan, published by Research India Press. This book likely explores the complex interplay between museum practices and colonial legacies, contrasting traditional museological approaches with those that emphasize indigenous perspectives and community involvement.

In discussing colonial politics, the book might examine how museums, historically, have often been tools for propagating colonial narratives and maintaining power dynamics. It could address how museums have represented, or misrepresented, the cultures and histories of colonized peoples.

On the other hand, "Peoples’ Museography" suggests a focus on more inclusive and participatory approaches to museum practices. This might involve rethinking how museums are structured and how they engage with communities, aiming to present more authentic, respectful, and nuanced representations of diverse cultures.
