Fifteen Colonial Thefts

  • £25.00
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Debates around restitution and decolonising museums continue to rage across the world. Artefacts, effigies and ancestral remains are finally being accurately contextualised and repatriated to their homelands. Exploring the history of colonial violence in Africa through the prism of fifteen African belongings – all looted at the height of the imperial era and brought to Western museums – this book illuminates the collective trauma and loss of cultural, historical and spiritual knowledge that colonial theft engendered.
