Author: Larissa Förster, Jan Hüsgen, Sarah Fründt, German Lost Art Foundation (Ed.)
The debate about the return of cultural assets to former colonial territories is much older than most assume. Authors from countries in the Global South and North shed light on the long history of restitution claims from colonised countries. Their research reveals disputes about restitutions (sometimes lasting for decades), traces veiled references to colonial violence by the former colonial powers in archives, and discusses what the “home-coming” of human remains can mean for societies.
ISBN 9783110999686. De Gruyter. pb. 208 pages. 25 colour ills. 24 x 17 cm.
