At a time of heightened international interest in the colonial
dimensions of museum collections, Dividing the Spoils provides new
perspectives on the motivations and circumstances whereby
collections were appropriated and acquired during colonial military
service. Combining approaches from the fields of material
anthropology, imperial and military history, this book argues for a
deeper examination of these collections within a range of
intercultural histories that include alliance, diplomacy, curiosity
and enquiry, as well as expropriation and cultural hegemony. As
museums across Europe reckon with the post-colonial legacies of
their collections, Dividing the Spoils explores how the amassing of
objects was understood and governed in British military culture,
and considers how objects functioned in museum collections
thereafter, suggesting new avenues for sustained investigation in a
controversial, contested field. -- .
