Many early objects were lost before Africa was formally integrated in the Tropenmuseum's policy in 1950, when the colonial phase of the museum was concluded. The following decades saw several changing objectives, from an emphasis on development cooperation toward an orientation on art and culture. Collection policies followed, focusing on daily household objects, popular art and contemporary art and design. The result is a fragmented but vivid collection that gives access to many forms of African art and culture as well as to the mindset of European collectors, researchers, and museum workers. This richly illustrated book emphasizes this historical context and the way the objects were collected and presented to the public to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Faber,Sonja Wijs,Daan Van Dartel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 946022119X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789460221194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LM Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.60h x 8.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Paul Faber","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446666146047,"sku":"9789460221194","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3625e38-4766-47db-8e2c-865550712179.jpg?v=1777226144","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/africa-at-the-tropenmuseum-paul-faber-9789460221194","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
