More about the book

The book explores the complex issue of repatriating art and cultural artifacts taken without consent during periods of conquest and colonialism. It examines the historical context of these appropriations and the ongoing demands from subjugated peoples for the return of their cultural heritage from museums and private collections in Europe and the USA. Through this lens, it delves into themes of justice, identity, and the impact of colonial legacies on contemporary cultural discourse.
