While the question of the return of cultural objects is by no means
a new one, it has become the subject of increasingly intense debate
in recent years. This important book explores the removal and the
return of cultural objects from occupied communities during the
last two centuries and analyses the concurrent evolution of
international cultural heritage law. The book focuses on the
significant influence exerted by British, U.S. and Australian
governments and museums on international law and museum policy in
response to restitution claims. It shows that these claims, far
from heralding the long-feared dissolution of museums and their
collections, provide museums with a vital, new role in the process
of self-determination and cultural identity. Compelling and
thought-provoking throughout, this book is essential reading for
archaeologists, international lawyers and all those involved in
cultural resource management.
