"The Museum of Other People" invites readers to question the role of museums in the colonial era and the ownership of indigenous cultural objects: should artifacts taken from their origins be returned, and who truly owns them? The book explores the deep ties between museum history and Western imperialism, and the curator's role in shaping representations of "the other." It examines issues of ownership rights, cultural appropriation, and persistent inequalities. Ideal for readers interested in history, culture, and museums, it offers a fresh perspective that may change how you view museums around you.
