Treasures in Trusted Hands: negotiating the future of colonial cultural objects: 3 (CLUES, 3) - Softcover
Críticas
"Impressively informed and informative, exceptionally thoughtful and thought-provoking, 'Treasures in Trusted Hands: Negotiating the Future of Colonial Cultural Objects' is a unique and highly recommended study that should be found in every community and academic library collection on the subject."--Margaret Lane"Midwest Book Review" (08/01/2017)
"Treasures in Trusted Hands is a pioneering study of a topic badly in need of international attention. Van Beurden writes about a dream of a round table with a colonial cultural object on top of it and its major stakeholders sitting around it; they are telling each other about their involvement with the cultural object in dispute. The material in the book hopefully will help to make the table steadier and less wobbly."
Reseña del editor
This pioneering study charts the one-way traffic of cultural and historical objects during five centuries of European colonialism. It presents abundant examples of disappeared colonial objects and systematizes these into war booty, confiscations by missionaries and contestable acquisitions by private persons and other categories. Former colonies consider this as a historical injustice that has not been undone.Former colonial powers have kept most of the objects in their custody. In the 1970s the Netherlands and Belgium returned objects to their former colonies Indonesia and DR Congo; but their number was considerably smaller than what had been asked for. Nigeria's requests for the return of some Benin objects, confiscated by British soldiers in 1897, are rejected.As there is no consensus on how to deal with colonial objects, disputes about other categories of contestable objects are analyzed. For Nazi-looted artworks the 1998 Washington Conference Principles have been widely accepted. Although non-binding, they promote fair and just solutions and help people to reclaim art works that they lost involuntarily.To promote solutions for colonial objects, nine Principles for Dealing with Colonial Cultural and Historical Objects are presented, based on the Washington Conference Principles. The nine are part of a model to facilitate mediation in disputes about them. This model can help to break the impasse in negotiations between former colonizers and colonies.Europe, the former colonizers, should do more pro-active provenance research into the acquisitions from the colonial era, both in public institutions and private collections."This is a very commendable treatise which has painstakingly and with detachment explored the emotive issue of the return of cultural objects removed in colonial times to the metropolis. He has looked at the issues from every continent with clarity and perspicuity."Prof. Folarin Shyllon (University of Ibadan)"Momumentaal werk van hoge kwaliteit. Het hoofdstuk over Congo is bijzonder goed gedocumenteerd en leerrijk"Dr. Guido Gryseels (Director-General of the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren)CLUES is an international scientific series covering research in the field of culture, history and heritage which have been written by, or were performed under the supervision of members of the research institute CLUE+.
