Book excerpt: The Benin Bronzes are among the British Museum’s most prized possessions. Celebrated for their great beauty, they embody the history, myth and artistry of the ancient Kingdom of Benin, once West Africa’s most powerful, and today part of Nigeria. But despite the Bronzes’ renown, little has been written about the brutal imperial violence with which they were plundered. Paddy Docherty’s searing new history tells that story: the 1897 British invasion of Benin. Armed with shocking details discovered in the archives, Blood and Bronze sets this assault in its late Victorian context. As British power faced new commercial and strategic pressures elsewhere, it ruthlessly expanded in West Africa. Revealing both the extent of African resistance and previously concealed British outrages, this is a definitive account of the destruction of Benin. Laying bare the Empire’s true motives and violent means, including the official coverup of grotesque sexual crimes, Docherty demolishes any moral argument for Britain retaining the Bronzes, making a passionate case for their immediate repatriation to Nigeria.

Download or read book Arhuan the Giant written by Marietta Iyinbor and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Benin bronze and other beautiful artifacts of the Benin kingdom of Nigeria are popular and found in homes and museums in countries around the world. The ancient kingdom which conquered many kingdoms to become an empire in the 15 century was one of the greatest and most advanced ancient civilization in African history. The kingdom still exists today with a royal house that is almost a thousand years old. The long history of the great kingdom was shaped by interesting people and events, and their stories have been told for hundreds of years from generation to generation.This story takes us to an important time in history when the Benin kingdom was ruled by great warrior Obas (kings) who conquered other kingdoms far and wide, expanded the Benin kingdom into an empire, and trade with Europeans. It is a story of one of the biggest rivalries in the kingdom between two Benin princes and the two biggest towns in the kingdom which began when a newly born baby was robbed of his birthright to be king of the kingdom. The baby who later grew up to be a giant warrior desperately wanted to be the king but the giant who has been successful in several battles must have to defeat his half-brother, the crowned prince, and the crowned prince's mother who is a powerful sorcerer and warrior. The story is that of culture, tradition, battles, strategy, magic, family, desperation, defeat, and victory. This picture book was written for kids age 6 to 16 to help them learn about the history, legends, language, culture, and tradition of the ancient Benin kingdom but is a good read for adults too. It features the famous Benin moat (which is the longest ancient man-made earthwork in the world), bronze plaques, and architecture.

Book excerpt: A Prospect Best Book of 2021 ‘A fascinating and timely book.’ William Boyd ‘Gripping…a must read.’ FT ‘Compelling…humane, reasonable, and ultimately optimistic.’ Evening Standard ‘[A] valuable guide to a complex narrative.’ The Times In 1897, Britain sent a punitive expedition to the Kingdom of Benin, in what is today Nigeria, in retaliation for the killing of seven British officials and traders. British soldiers and sailors captured Benin, exiled its king and annexed the territory. They also made off with some of Africa’s greatest works of art. The ‘Benin Bronzes’ are now amongst the most admired and valuable artworks in the world. But seeing them in the British Museum today is, in the words of one Benin City artist, like ‘visiting relatives behind bars’. In a time of huge controversy about the legacy of empire, racial justice and the future of museums, what does the future hold for the Bronzes?
