Abstract:
"Provenance research on collections from the Global South in Europe is now unavoidable in the fields of museum studies and cultural policy, yet no scholarly work has scrutinized the collections of the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren (Belgium) as a whole. While the institution's history has been the subject of study, this book provides new frameworks for interpretation in light of current debates. Structured around two axes - the heritage field in historical and contemporary Belgian and Congolese contexts, and the more specific case of the Tervuren museum's collections -, this edited volume gives a broad overview, explores new trends, and presents the challenges facing museums today, with recent and unpublished research, interviews, and artistic contributions in English or French."--
