Dr. Fifi's new book, "Critical Issues in Caribbean Museums," is distinguished in the field of museology as its Caribbean focus is under-researched in the field. The book includes regional Caribbean collections and global Caribbean collections in the United Kingdom and the United States. This talk will feature insights in museum education, cultural representation, and repatriation, through highlighting case studies written by five museum professionals and scholars, fundamentally shaping conversations on cultural heritage spaces within the Caribbean and the diaspora of Caribbean nations.
