Sinopse

Contested Artifacts explores the complex world of cultural property disputes, where history, art, and world politics collide. The book delves into artifact repatriation, examining how international law, ethics, and national identity fuel conflicts over cultural heritage. Did you know that the Benin Bronzes, for example, are claimed by Nigeria from various European museums, highlighting the legacy of colonial-era acquisition? The study emphasizes that resolving these disputes requires a nuanced approach, considering historical context and ethical responsibilities beyond simple legal claims.

 
The book uniquely balances legal and ethical dimensions, analyzing cases like the Elgin Marbles and the Koh-i-Noor diamond to illustrate the multifaceted nature of these disputes. It progresses by first introducing foundational concepts, and then moves on to specific case studies, incorporating perspectives from museums, governments, and indigenous communities.

 
Ultimately, it proposes collaborative frameworks for resolving disputes, emphasizing shared stewardship and cultural exchange.

    Wards of the State - The Long...

    Told through the stories of six former foster youth, a jolting exploration of a broken system from an award-winning journalist 
      
    By the time Maryanne was 16 years old, she had been arrested for murder. In and out of foster and adoptive homes since age 10, she’d run away, been trafficked and assaulted, and finally pointed a gun at the latest man to take her into his car. She pulled the trigger and fled. But with no family to turn to and few reliable friends, it didn’t take long for the police to catch up with her. 
      
    In court, the defense blamed neither traffickers, nor Maryanne, but Washington state itself—or rather, its foster care system, which parents thousands of children every year. The courts didn’t listen to that argument, but award-winning journalist Claudia Rowe did. Washington state isn’t alone, of course. Each year, hundreds of thousands of children grow up in America’s $30 billion foster care system, only to leave and enter its prisons, where a quarter of all inmates are former foster youth. 
      
    Weaving Maryanne’s story with those of five other foster kids across the country—including an 18-year-old sleeping on the New York City subways; a gangbanger-turned graduate student; and a foster child who is now a policy advisor to the White House—Rowe paints a visceral survival narrative showing exactly where, when, and how the system channels children into locked cells. Balanced with accounts from psychologists, advocates, judges, and foster parents, Wards of the State paves a road to reform by pulling back the curtain on our country’s longstanding foster care-to-prison pipeline and the searing realities faced by kids who may be sitting in classrooms next to your own children.

    The Netherlands from the Burgundian dukes to the twentieth century, by an Oxford historian who spent thirty years on Dutch archives. Edmundson wrote for the Cambridge Modern History before making this single-volume account, and he is best on the eighty years' war and the republic's constitution. The chapters on the East Indies are franker about the trade than English histories usually were. Sixty plates of seventeenth-century battle, siege and street scenes, among them works by Andries van Eertvelt and Peter Snayers, follow the war and the towns through which the republic was made.
