Extract

The abundance of literature dealing with the Parthenon Marbles, the Benin Bronzes, and NAGPRA has made it seem that conflict over the fate of patrimonial property is always a story about contemporary society's encounter with its colonial past. Professor Bailkin's recent book reveals a considerably more varied, complex, and multi-layered history of cultural property controversies.
