Positioning Your Museum as a Critical Community Asset: A Practical Guide is a major contribution to studies about community engagement and participatory strategies in museums. Encompassing examples from more than two dozen contributors, the book is a valuable manual of tested and inexpensive "bottom-up" or "co-creation" approaches. This is a must-read not just for museum professionals but also for everyone in the critical museum studies field., Happily, this volume is not yet one more call for museums to engage with the communities they serve -as its editors note, that would be nothing new. Rather, the book is a "how-to" guide, illustrated with case studies drawn from a wide variety of contexts, and including a digital resource guide (linked to ancillary online content) compiled by the book's contributors. This volume demonstrates how reciprocal, mutually empowered community engagement is a profoundly co-creative process which benefits both communities and the museums which serve them.
