THE MUSEUM OF OTHER PEOPLE - ADAM KUPER KARTONI...

A TLS BEST BOOK OF 2023 'A formidable work' Nigel Barley  author of The Innocent Anthropologist
'Should be required reading' Richard Lambert  Financial Times 'A magnificent  moving survey'
Felipe Fernández-Armesto  TLS This is a history of the ways in which foreign and prehistoric
peoples were represented in museums of anthropology  with their displays of arts and artifacts
their dioramas  their special exhibitions  and their arrays of skulls and skeletons. Originally
created as colonial enterprises  what is the purpose of these places today? What should they do
with the items in their custodianship? And how can they help us to understand and appreciate
other cultures? Informed by a lifetime of research and scholarship  this subtle and original
work tackles painful questions about race  colonialism  difference  and cultural appropriation.
The result is a must-read for anyone concerned with the coexistence of different modes of life.
