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.
