Автор: Benedicte Savoy
Издательство: Princeton University Press
Год: 2022
Формат: EPUB
Размер: 26 Мб

A major new history of how African nations, starting in the 1960s, sought to reclaim the art looted by Western colonial powers. For decades, African nations have fought for the return of countless works of art stolen during the colonial era and placed in Western museums. In Africa’s Struggle for Its Art, Bénédicte Savoy brings to light this largely unknown but deeply important history. One of the world’s foremost experts on restitution and cultural heritage, Savoy investigates extensive, previously unpublished sources to reveal that the roots of the struggle extend much further back than prominent recent debates indicate, and that these efforts were covered up by myriad opponents.
