The Brutish Museums: The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence and Cultural Restitution by Dan Hicks
informative
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
Very good; strongly and persuasively argued book about the colonial past, present and possible futures of the Benin Bronzes. Corporate-militarist colonialism. Introduces lots of new ways of thinking about colonialism (for me anyway) e.g. chronopolotics, necrology. Poses important questions and potential solutions. Somewhat repetitive in parts.
