The fascinating, forgotten story of when Europe and Islam first met
Long before they came as occupiers, the British were drawn to the
Middle East by the fabled riches of its trade and the enlightened
tolerance of its people. The Pashas, merchants and travelers from
Europe, discovered an Islamic world that was alluring, dynamic, and
diverse. Ranging across two and a half centuries and through
the great cities of Istanbul, Aleppo, and Alexandria, James Mather
tells the forgotten story of the men of the Levant Company who
sought their fortunes in the Ottoman Empire. Their trade
brought to the region not only merchants but also ambassadors and
envoys, pilgrims and chaplains, families and servants, aristocratic
tourists and roving antiquarians. Unlike the nabobs who
gathered their fortunes in Bengal, they both respected and learned
from the culture they encountered, and their lives provide a
fascinating insight into the meeting of East and West before the
age of European imperialism. Intriguing, intimate, and original,
Pashas brings to life an extraordinary tale of faraway visitors
beguiled by a mysterious world of Islam.
Many have talked of a 'new wave' of restitution claims prompted by
the Sarr-Savoy report. This has been further enhanced by the
announcement by the Open Society Foundation in November 2019 of $15
million of support for action to restore objects to Africa,
including through litigation. A series of formal claims to European
museums for the return of objects was reported in 2019. The
sustained high level of public interest in the restitution debate,
combined with the generally stubborn response of host nations,
suggests that this pattern will continue. Cultural Restitution
Claims: A Legal Handbook provides a concise and practical account
of the international law relevant to cross-border claims for the
restitution of cultural property. It covers both the supranational
legal framework and the domestic legal position in a number of key
jurisdictions, namely the UK, US, Switzerland, France, Germany,
Italy, Spain and China, drawing on the expertise of practitioners
in those jurisdictions. It also relates the present state of the
law to the evolving political and ethical debate and engages in
critical comparison of the position in different jurisdictions. The
book serves as a practical resource for those asserting or
responding to claims for the return of objects, whether in the
context of formal litigation or otherwise, as well as for those
with a professional or policy interest in the restitution debate.
