Hello,
I am a graduate student at the University at Buffalo and i am working on a 
thesis regarding racial and cultural hybridity in the museum. I am having 
difficulty finding sources of information for one of my chapters. The 
chapter is  regarding museum consumption of the Other.I am interested in 
finding any books/articles/essay on museum restaurants and museum shops. My 
idea is that museums restaurants and shops displaying "ethnic" items are 
another way that the museum makes culture digestible and intelligible 
serving as a snapshot of other cultures. Through our purchases and 
consumption  we participate in that culture while not abandoning the comfort 
of our own.

I would appreciate any assistance anyone can offer. Thank you very much for 
your help.

Rossy
