Something about Africa

This book contains examples of different approaches to mediating culture in the Museum of World Culture in Frankfurt. For some years now, ethnological museums in the German-speaking countries have been engaged in a debate about attributions, forms of representation in museums, and restitution demands. These themes are central to the way we communicate, since cultural mediators have to take a stance in this debate. This publication seeks to uncover new areas for negotiation, to avoid reproducing stereotypes and to facilitate new approaches.
