Repatriation in 2010 and 2011

Some late 2010 news and editorials on the repatriation issue.

A thoughtful piece by Michelle A. Hamilton here.

An op-ed piece in the New York Times by the respected archaeologist Robert L. Kelly here, and a response from one of the Museum Anthropology editors here.

And perhaps a related piece in the Material World blog, by Tiffany Jenkins (London School of Economics) talking about her new book, Contesting Human Remains in Museum Collections: The Contribution of a Crisis of Cultural Authority.
