Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate about the return of cultural assets to former colonial territories is highly topical and at the same time much older than most assume. Authors from countries in the Global South and North shed light on the long history of restitution claims from colonised countries. Their research reveals disputes about restitutions sometimes lasting for decades, traces veiled references to colonial violence by the former colonial powers in archives, and discusses what the "homecoming" of human remains can mean for societies.
