A major new history of how African nations, starting in the 1960s, sought to reclaim the art looted by Western colonial powers For decades, African nations have fought for the return of countless works of art stolen during the colonial era and placed in Western museums. In Africa's Struggle for Its Art, Benedicte Savoy brings to light this largely unknown but deeply important history. One of the world's foremost experts on restitution and cultural heritage, Savoy investigates extensive, previously unpublished sources to reveal that the roots of the struggle extend much further back than prominent recent debates indicate, and that these efforts were covered up by myriad opponents. Shortly after 1960, when eighteen former colonies in Africa gained independence, a movement to pursue repatriation was spearheaded by African intellectual and political classes. Savoy looks at pivotal events, including the watershed speech delivered at the UN General Assembly by Zaire's president, Mobutu Sese Seko, which started the debate regarding restitution of colonial-era assets and resulted in the first UN resolution on the subject. She examines how German museums tried to withhold information about their inventory and how the British Parliament failed to pass a proposed amendment to the British Museum Act, which protected the country's collections. Savoy concludes in the mid-1980s, when African nations enacted the first laws focusing on the protection of their cultural heritage. Making the case for why restitution is essential to any future relationship between African countries and the West, Africa's Struggle for Its Art will shape conversations around these crucial issues for years to come.

Museum science, museum analysis, museum history, and museum theory all of these composite designations have come into our parlance in recent years. Above all, this expanding terminology underscores the growing scholarly interest in museums. In this new scholarship, a recurring assertion is that as an institution, the museum has largely functioned as a venue for the formation of specifically national identities. This volume, by contrast, highlights the museum as a product of transnational processes of exchange, focusing on the period from ca. 1750 to 1940."

Franz Theodor Kugler (1808 1858) gehort unbestritten zu den ersten namhaften deutschen Kunsthistorikern. Ihm verdankt man insbesondere die Einbettung der Kunstgeschichte als asthetische Auseinandersetzung mit den uberlieferten Kunstwerken in die allgemeine Geschichte. 1837 veroffentlichte er sein Handbuch der Geschichte der Malerei von Konstantin dem Grossen bis auf die neuere Zeit. Bald darauf folgte ein zweites bahnbrechendes Werk, das Handbuch der Kunstgeschichte (1842). In weiteren Schriften legte Kugler den Akzent auf die Kunstgeschichte Berlins und der Umgebung und versuchte zugleich, die Kunstwissenschaft mit geographischen Betrachtungen zu verknupfen. Die Geschichte der Baukunst, an der Jakob Burckhardt und Wilhelm Lubke mitwirkten, zeugt von seiner Neigung zu Gesamtdarstellungen. Kugler war auch als Kunstreferent des preussischen Kulturministeriums tatig und konnte seine Ansichten in die Praxis der Kunstverwaltung umsetzen. Sein weitverzweigtes Netz von Bekannten und Freunden unter den Berliner Schriftstellern der Zeit, von Emanuel Geibel und Paul Heyse bis zum jungen Theodor Fontane, illustriert eine paradigmatische Verbindung von Literatur- und Kunstbetrachtung, die von der Zusammenarbeit mit Adolph Menzel an der Geschichte Friedrichs des Grossen (1840) oder aber von seinen eigenen Gedichten weiter dokumentiert wird. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich erstmals ausfuhrlich der Figur Kuglers, die weitgehend in Vergessenheit geraten ist, obwohl sie fur das Verstandnis der Kunstwissenschaft, der Berliner Salonkultur und der allgemeinen deutschen Kulturgeschichte von den 1830er bis zu den 1850er Jahren unerlassliche Schlussel liefert."
