From the second half of the nineteenth century, colonial powers encouraged their citizens in the colonies to collect objects that would enrich the ethnographical collections of the mother country and document the material culture of societies that--under the influence of colonialization--were undergoing rapid change. The objects collected ended up in countless European museums or in the hands of private collectors. Their presence in these collections raises epistemological, museographical and ethical questions in need of urgent consideration."--Page 4 of cover.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
