For the past century and a half, extensive looting and illicit
trafficking of Southeast Asia's cultural heritage have scattered
art objects from the region to museums and private collections
around the world. Today, however, power relations are shifting, a
new awareness is growing, and new questions are emerging about the
representation and ownership of Southeast Asian cultural material
located in the West. This book offers a timely consideration of
object restitution and related issues across Southeast Asia,
bringing together a range of viewpoints, including those of museum
professionals and scholars in Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and
Indonesia, as well as Europe, North America, and Australia. The
contributors address legal, cultural, political and diplomatic
issues involved in the restitution process, and they also look at
the ways object restitution is integral to evolving narratives of
national identity. Ultimately, the book's editors conclude,
restitution processes can transform narratives of loss into
opportunities for gain, building knowledge and reconstructing
relationships across national borders.
