Summary

Lost Cultural Artifacts explores the complex world of indigenous cultural heritage, focusing on the theft and repatriation of invaluable artifacts. It delves into the profound significance these objects hold for indigenous communities, representing not just art, but a living link to their history and identity. The book highlights the urgent need to address past wrongs and foster reconciliation through the return of these cultural treasures, arguing that repatriation is essential for preserving cultural heritage and empowering indigenous communities to reclaim their narratives.

 
The book examines the historical and social context surrounding artifact theft, including the legacy of colonialism and evolving museum practices. It meticulously documents case studies of artifact displacement from various regions, illustrating the devastating impact on indigenous communities. Furthermore, it explores the legal and ethical frameworks guiding repatriation efforts, including international conventions and indigenous rights declarations.

 
Structured in four parts, Lost Cultural Artifacts begins with an overview of cultural heritage and its importance. It progresses through case studies, legal frameworks, and culminates in a discussion of practical implications for repatriation. By challenging traditional narratives and prioritizing indigenous voices, this book advocates for a more inclusive and participatory approach to cultural preservation and social justice.

  • The Late Medieval Scottish Parliament - Politics and the three Estates 1424–1488 - cover

    The Late Medieval Scottish...

    In this ground-breaking study of the medieval parliament, Roland Tanner gives the Scottish Parliament a human face by examining the actions and motives of those who attended. In the past, the Scottish Parliament was seen as a weak and ineffective institution – damned because of its failure to be more like its English counterpart. But Roland Tanner shows that the old picture of weakness is far from accurate. In its very different way, the Scottish Parliament was every bit as powerful as the English institution. The ‘Three Estates’ (the clergy, nobility and burgh representatives who attended Parliament) were able to wield a surprising degree of control over the Crown during the fifteenth century. For instance, they threatened to lock James I’s taxation in a box to which he, the king, would have no access, made James II swear not to alter acts of Parliament, and prevented him from using his own lands and wealth as patronage for his supporters, and forbade James III to leave the country.  Roland Tanner has avoided a dry constitutional approach. Instead he has sought to bring Parliament to life through the people who attended, the reasons why they attended, and the complex interactions which occurred when all the most wealthy, powerful and ambitious people in the kingdom gathered in one place.

    Winston Churchill was born in a palace and was given a funeral worthy of a king. His family had enjoyed an intimate association with the British monarchy stretching back centuries. As King Edward VIII said of him, "I have never met anyone of royal blood who exemplified in such high degree the ideal of the 'good king.'"Churchill and the Crown tells the story of Churchill's relationship with the various kings and queens he served during his long political career, from young journalist under Edward VII, through his dramatic fall from grace in the First World War under George V, the frustrations of appeasement during the interwar period and his relationship with Edward VIII during the abdication crisis of 1936, culminating in his Finest Hour in the Second World War under George VI and the coda of Churchill's public service to his final monarch: Queen Elizabeth II.Ted Powell analyzes Churchill's writings on monarchy and his role in preserving and establishing monarchies outside Britain. At the core of the book is a series of studies of Churchill's relationships with the monarchs he served. These studies offer a two-way perspective, examining both Churchill's view of individual monarchs and their attitudes towards him. They shed light not only on Churchill's career but also on the changing role of the monarchy in twentieth century Britain.
