“A signal contribution to the ‘culture wars,’ Dubin dispassionately examines the contemporary American museum as a battleground for the control of expression where elitist and populist camps clash over politically sensitive art. –Art in America Museums have become ground zero in America’s culture wars. In Displays of Power, Steven Dubin, whose Arresting Images was deemed “masterly” by the New York Times, examines the most controversial exhibitions of the 1990s. Displays of Power draws directly upon interviews with many key combatants: museum administrators, community activists, curators, and scholars. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Subject
