{"product_id":"restitution-of-cultural-property-and-christa-roodt-9780367425364","title":"Restitution of Cultural Property and the Law: Complex Colonial Histories","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book adopts a novel approach to the social question of restitution and repatriation of sacred cultural property and heritage acquired unethically during the colonial era. It uses an approach premised on better integration of law, ethics, history, anthropology, and provenance research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo bridge the material and the sacred world in adjudication and policy formulation, a common definition of what the 'sacred' denotes in the context of colonial legacies is adopted as a viable methodology. 'Sacred' loot in private and public collections is defined based on clues imparted by disputes which are paradigmatic of the fragmentation that envelops the material, the systems of knowledge associated with that material, the structure and method of international law, subject specialisations, and the legal frameworks in play. The book suggests that the Parthenon Sculptures dispute and the parallel transnational litigation in the Zhanggong Zushi Statue cases offer practical approaches for deconstructing hurdles and assumptions concerning historical claims in the secondary legal norms and tenets of PrIL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt will be of interest to researchers interested in interdisciplinary work across the humanities and social sciences, including public and private international law, cultural property law, heritage law, and provenance research and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christa Roodt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036742536X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367425364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Christa Roodt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46431532777727,"sku":"9780367425364","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_420a5032-be54-4b66-a204-0e92ce410e18.jpg?v=1735141620","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/restitution-of-cultural-property-and-christa-roodt-9780367425364","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
