Abstract
Met lit. opg. - Met reg. The themes investigated by the contributors include: how African painters undermine racist stereotypes yet remain dominated by the Western art market; the role of anthropology museums in the perpetuation of the Western market in `tribal art'; and the internal and external political disputes underlying the repatriation of cultural property.
