"Curating Transcultural Spaces asks what a museum which enables the presentation of multiple perspectives might look like. Can identity be global and local at the same time? How may one curate dual identity? More broadly, what is the link between the arts and processes of identity construction? This volume, an indispensable source for the process of engaging with colonial history in Germany and beyond, takes its starting point from the 'scandal' of the Humboldt Forum. The transfer of German state collections from the Ethnological Museum and the Museum for Asian Art, located at the margins of Berlin in Dahlem, into the centre of Germany's capital indicates the nation's aspiration of purported multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism; yet the project's resurrection of the site's former Prussian city palace, which was demolished during the GDR, stands in opposition to its very mission, given that the Prussian rulers benefited from colonial exploitation. By examining the contrasting successes of other projects, such as the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC, Curating Transcultural Spaces compellingly argues for the necessity of taking post-colonial thinking on board in the construction of museum spaces in order to generate genuine exchange between multiple perspectives"--

Examining contemporary literary depictions of environmental disasters through a North-South axis, this book explores the resonances and dissonances between environmentalisms of marginalized communities in the U.S. and the global South. Pairing anti-colonial texts from the United States with examples from the Global South, it interrogates the complexity of global precarity and particular forms of environmental violence. Each pairing is linked to a specific manifestation of environmental disaster, such as hurricane, drought, species extinction, and agricultural collapse. Featuring texts from authors such as Jesmyn Ward, Monique Roffey, Paolo Bacigalupi, Alexis Wright, Linda Hogan, Henrietta Rose-Innes, Ruth Ozeki, and Sonora Jha, this book models how a comparative (global North-global South) approach to literary studies can help us untangle the complex power dynamics and differentials of the Anthropocene.

Through a variety of archival documents, artefacts, illustrations, and references to primary and secondary literature, On the Job explores the changing styles, business practices, and lived experiences of the people who make, sell, and wear service-industry uniforms in the United States. It highlights how the uniform business is distinct from the fashion business, including how manufacturing developed outside of the typical fashion hubs such as New York City; and gives attention to the ways that various types of employers (small business, corporate, government and others) differ in their ambitions and regulations surrounding uniforms.On the Job sheds new light on an understudied yet important field of dress and clothing within everyday life, and is an essential addition to any fashion historian's library, appealing to all those interested in material culture, the service industry, heritage and history.
