Sinopsis

Artifacts and Ethics explores the complex moral issues surrounding cultural artifacts, focusing on ownership, repatriation, and ethical acquisition. The book argues for ethical considerations to be central in decisions about artifacts. It balances cultural heritage preservation with the rights of source communities, challenging Western-centric views. For instance, it examines how colonial history has shaped current museum collections, creating power imbalances that led to the removal of artifacts from their original locations. It also highlights the importance of understanding cultural property rights in a global context where social justice and human rights are paramount.

 
The book begins by giving a historical context, then introduces ethical frameworks like deontology and utilitarianism to analyze the roles of museums, source communities, collectors, and governments. It looks at the history of collecting and its impact, the legal landscape, and the ethical dilemmas museums face. It uses historical documents, legal cases, and ethnographic studies to provide a comprehensive view.

 
The book aims to create a dialogue between museums and source communities and offers guidance for ethical policies and advocacy. It's a valuable resource for anyone interested in the ethical dimensions of cultural heritage, from students to policymakers.

Bombing Hitler's Hometown - The...

Mike Croissant

In April 1945, Linz was one of Nazi Germany's most vital assets. It was a crucial transportation hub and communications center, with railyards brimming with war materiel destined for the front lines. Linz was also the town Hitler claimed as home and had long intended to remake as the cultural capital of Europe, filling its planned Fuehrermuseum with world-famous art stolen from his conquered territories. 
 
 
  
Inevitably, Linz was also one of the most heavily defended targets remaining in Europe. The airmen of the Fifteenth Air Force were a mix of seasoned veterans and newcomers. As their mission was unveiled in the predawn hours of April 25th, audible groans and muffled expletives passed many lips. The reality of that mission would prove more brutal than any imagined. 
 
 
  
Drawing on interviews with dozens of America's last surviving World War II veterans, as well as previously unpublished sources, Mike Croissant compellingly relates one of the war's last truly untold stories—a gripping chronicle of warfare, the death of Nazi Germany, and the beginning of the Cold War. It is also a timeless tale of courage and terror, loss and redemption, humanity and savagery.
