Exploring the Stories of Cultural Objects After their Return
Kristin Hausler and Elke Selter
This open access book offers a unique perspective on the repatriation of cultural objects by focusing on the aftermath of the return processes.
It tells the story of 7 cultural objects that were housed in European institutions and returned to countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The book presents insights into past return processes, the manifold modalities that such processes have followed, and, at times, unexpected outcomes.
