dc.description.abstractThe traditional understandings of museums and the heritage sector in general have been challenged in post-apartheid South Africa. The main challenge has been how to transform meaning making, heritage construction, and knowledge production in these sectors from the colonial and apartheid past to represent the diversity of South Africans. Based on an in-depth study using unstructured interviews from a sample of museum staff, museum visitors and community members; this study investigated the extent to which permanent displays in the East London Museum have transformed to -depict cultural diversity and heritage of all South Africans, in particular the history of black South Africans.
