The Brutish Museums The Benin Bronzes, Colonial Violence and Cultural Restitution

Dan Hicks

Dan Hicks argues that the Benin Bronzes are evidence of colonial violence and makes the case for their restitution. The book also raises questions about how cultural records and objects are collected, interpreted, preserved and shared. Readers interested in archives and cultural heritage can use it to explore how the past is documented and understood.
