'A formidable work' Nigel Barley, author of The Innocent
Anthropologist 'Should be required reading' Richard Lambert,
Financial Times 'A magnificent, moving survey' Felipe
Fernández-Armesto, TLS This is a history of the ways in which
foreign and prehistoric peoples were represented in museums of
anthropology, with their displays of arts and artifacts, their
dioramas, their special exhibitions, and their arrays of skulls and
skeletons. Originally created as colonial enterprises, what is the
purpose of these places today? What should they do with the items
in their custodianship? And how can they help us to understand and
appreciate other cultures? Informed by a lifetime of research and
scholarship, this subtle and original work tackles painful
questions about race, colonialism, difference, and cultural
appropriation. The result is a must-read for anyone concerned with
the coexistence of different modes of life.
