Yet the huge crowds that each year visit the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, or the Metropolitan in New York have little idea that many of the objects on display were acquired by coercion or theft. Now the countries from which these treasures came would like them back. The Greek demand for the return of the Elgin Marbles is the tip of an iceberg that includes claims for the Benin Bronzes from Nigeria, sculpture from Turkey, scrolls and porcelain taken from the Chinese Summer Palace, textiles from Peru, the bust of Nefertiti, Native American sacred objects, and Aboriginal human remains. In Keeping Their Marbles, Tiffany Jenkins tells the bloody story of how western museums came to acquire these objects. She investigates why repatriation claims have soared in recent decades and demonstrates how it is the guilt and insecurity of the museums themselves that have stoked the \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExcellent. * James Heartfield, Spiked *\u003cbr\u003eFull of fascinating material. * Christopher Allen, Australian Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e5 stars: From Greece's Elgin Marbles to Nigeria's Benin Bronzes, archaeological finds from around the world are held by the West's top museums. This is the story of their often bloody acquisitions - and a well argued case for keeping them there. * Juanita Coulson, The Lady *\u003cbr\u003eBooks of the year 2016 * Francis Phillips, Catholic Herald *\u003cbr\u003eMs. Jenkins has produced a courageous and well-argued book; the howls you hear in the background are those of the contrition crowd. * Wall Street Journal *\u003cbr\u003eBrilliant and fascinating * James Delingpole, Spectator *\u003cbr\u003eThe dubious means by which museum collections were gathered has fuelled the demands for treasures to be repatriated. Surely they ought to be returned? No, says Tiffany Jenkins, a culture writer, and she marshals a powerful case. * Robbie Millen, The Times *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is both a lucid account of how the great world museums came by their treasures and a robust argument as to why (human remains such as bones aside) they should keep them. * Michael Prodger, RA Magazine *\u003cbr\u003eAn outstanding achievement, clear-headed, wide-ranging and incisive. * John Carey, The Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eTiffany Jenkins applies her considerable experience of cultural policy to construct an excellent survey ...

The arguments in this book are well-considered and not just one-sided ... A well-researched and thought-provoking take on a very complex and controversial subject.

Jenkins elegantly explores the complexity of individual cases such as the Elgin Marbles and of the big overarching question: who owns culture? * Mary Beard, author of SPQR: A history of Ancient Rome *\u003cbr\u003eThe question of how best to protect the world's cultural heritage, and what role museums, nations states, and international bodies play in doing so, or in not doing so, is a vexed one. And in the time of IS, it is an urgent one. Tiffany Jenkins sets out a clear, compelling, and at times controversial case for, and sometimes against, museums as repositories and interpreters of the past in a time of nation building. She argues that we are asking too much of our museums, that we want them to serve narrow ideological purposes of cultural and political identity. There is much to agree with in this argument, and of course, much with which to disagree. That's what makes this book a must-read. * James Cuno, art historian, author, and President and CEO of the J.

That this book should merit a second, and expanded, edition in so short a period (a scant five years) is testament to the vitality of the field of material culture studies. Noteworthy areas of new attention include the political study of objects, the material history of urban space, and the application of new technologies (3-D printing or big data for example) to the study of material culture. If historians have indeed “experienced a Damascene conversion to material culture” as Gerritsen and Riello argue, then surely they should be credited in large measure for bringing it intellectual coherence and a global reach.

Assembling each chapter like a memorial exhibit, Li explores how corporeal traces, archival documents, camera images, and material relics serve as commemorative media. Prison writings and police files reveal the infrastructure of state surveillance and testify to revolutionary ideals and violence, victimhood and complicity.

Within those virtual walls lost souls, dead dreams, frustrated ambitions, and reanimated specters continuously jostle; variously they haunt the living. Jie Li is a learned docent with an assured demeanor who guides us through the hidden passages and dark corridors of that labyrinthine structure with the judicious balance of a historian and the craft of a curator. Her navigation also confronts us with an imagined future in which the contentious possibilities and conflicted potentials of the past will inevitably be visited, and revisited, as China continues its titanic, two-century-long quest on the path to modernity.” -- Geremie R.

The questions that Jie Li raises are as vital for global history as they are for China, since socialism's demise leaves many around the world puzzled about the legacies of that period, how to remember them, and what to build in their place.” -- Lisa Rofel, coauthor of * Fabricating Transnational Capitalism: A Collaborative Ethnography of Italian-Chinese Global Fashion *\u003cbr\u003e“This is a wonderful and important book.

At the heart of it all from the very start have been curators. Yet after three decades as a natural history curator, Lance Grande found that he still had to explain to people what he does. This book is the answer and, oh, what an answer it is: lively, exciting, up-to-date, it offers a portrait of curators and curation like none we've seen, one that conveys the intellectual excitement and educational and social value of curation. Grande uses the personal story of his own career most of it spent at Chicago's storied Field Museum to structure his account as he explores the value of collections, the importance of public engagement, changing ecological and ethical considerations, and the impact of rapidly improving technology.Throughout, we are guided by Grande's keen sense of mission, of a job where the why is always as important as the what.

Colwell's dual roles of museum curator and human rights advocate offers a narrative of personal growth and professional practice that couples a humanist's sensitivities with a historian's insistence on primary documentary sources. The resulting breath of fresh air contributes mightily to still-controversial conversations about American reburial and repatriation. The message sounds loud and clear: Twenty-first century museums can indeed stand tall in addressing their own complex histories.

Through the Luf Boat, now a centerpiece of the controversial new Humboldt Forum, Aly demonstrates the intimate relationship between the devastation wrought by markets and militaries and the curators who swooped in to ‘rescue’ the remnants of supposedly dying cultures. -- Erin L.
