{"product_id":"the-national-museum-of-the-amy-lonetree-9780803211117","title":"The National Museum of the American Indian: Critical Conversations","description":"The first American national museum designed and run by indigenous peoples, the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC opened in 2004. It represents both the United States as a singular nation and the myriad indigenous nations within its borders. Constructed with materials closely connected to Native communities across the continent, the museum contains more than 800,000 objects and three permanent galleries and routinely holds workshops and seminar series.\u003cbr\u003eThis first comprehensive look at the National Museum of the American Indian encompasses a variety of perspectives, including those of Natives and non-Natives, museum employees, and outside scholars across disciplines such as cultural studies and criticism, art history, history, museum studies, anthropology, ethnic studies, and Native American studies. The contributors engage in critical dialogues about key aspects of the museum's origin, exhibits, significance, and the relationship between Native Americans and other related museums.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Lonetree\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803211112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803211117\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/28\/2008 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009","brand":"Amy Lonetree","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996826829055,"sku":"9780803211117","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce1ae414-52a2-476a-94c1-114125fbdbf4.jpg?v=1683343923","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-national-museum-of-the-amy-lonetree-9780803211117","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
