Review:
Taken as a whole, the volume presents a very readable introduction to the urban phenomenon in West Africa and its significance for museums. 'That museums have an obligation to educate and serve the needs of their public is important and undeniable and the authors deserve credit for making that point and imaginatively exploring the many possibile ways to meet that obligation. '...this book is very accessible, offers a fine introduction to the confluence between urbanism and museums in West Africa, and can be recommended for students as well as lay readers interested in Africa, and in museums and urbanism generally.' Belinda Straight in 'Museum Anthropology' Volume 29, no 1
