Sinossi

Museum Collections Trade delves into the intricate world of museum acquisitions, exploring how institutions curate their collections through exchange, loan, and occasionally, controversial deals. The book uncovers the often-secretive practices that govern how museums manage their holdings, influencing our understanding of both history and art. It tackles challenging topics, including deaccessioning, where museums remove items from collections; repatriation, the return of artifacts to their origins; and the ethical implications of acquisition, especially concerning artifacts obtained unethically. Consider, for instance, the Elgin Marbles controversy, a prime example of repatriation debates.

 
The book progresses by first defining core concepts such as deaccessioning and repatriation. It then examines the historical context, providing detailed case studies and legal frameworks that govern cultural property movement. A key argument is that increased transparency and ethical accountability are essential for fostering public trust.

 
The book concludes by proposing an ethical management framework balancing museum needs with the rights of communities, ultimately guiding museum professionals and policymakers in navigating the complexities of collections management and cultural heritage.

    A delightful Aztec work that has much to teach us about the value of giving thanks—to our contemporaries, our elders, and our ancestors 
     
     
     
    Centuries before anyone ever thought of keeping a gratitude journal, the Aztecs understood the profound value of being grateful. For generations, specially trained Aztec public speakers presented traditional dialogues at marriages, births, funerals, government ceremonies, and other important occasions. In these dialogues, people of different generations are imagined speaking to each other with mutual respect and gratitude across time, encouraging listeners to be grateful to their contemporaries, elders, and ancestors, as well as the divine, and reminding the living what they owe to future generations. In the late 1500s, one of these Aztec speakers, Pablo of Texcoco, recorded a collection of these dialogues, now known as the Bancroft Dialogues. In How to Be Grateful, Nahuatl- or Aztec-language specialist Frances Karttunen and Camilla Townsend, Cundhill History Prize–winning author of Fifth Sun: A New History of the Aztecs, present this fascinating work in an accessible translation.

    What drives American foreign relations in the Arctic? It is difficult to give a unified answer to this question because most histories of the region are divided between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, Asian and European strategic interests, or federal government and Indigenous peoples' concerns, making it difficult to understand the connections among the environmental challenges, scientific understandings, strategic calculations, and governance relationships. Most Americans do not think of their country as an Arctic power, yet it is a region where the United States has had important ties throughout its history.In this sweeping study, from the founding of the country through the acquisition of Alaska to the present, Kathryn C. Lavelle considers American relations across the circumpolar North, incorporating discussions of economics, national security, and science that are conventionally separated. Lavelle argues that it is impossible to understand United States policy without a knowledge of American political development and of how scientific understandings have grown alongside studies of climate and other environmental issues. This history has important implications for future American policy regarding traditional national security and political economy, in addition to climate change and environmental cooperation.
