This book was released on 2003 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the former Kingdom of Benin is a fascinating subject which aroused the interest of many scholars during more than one hundred years. However, today, when Africa unfortunately attracts much less public and professional interest than in the times of de-colonisation and subsequent cold war struggle for the continent between the socialist and capitalist blocs, only a few specialists outside Nigeria are undertaking Benin researches and, therefore, the authors felt the need to make a new attempt for writing a history of this remarkable kingdom, including newest results of researches. Besides the general public, the book is destined for graduate and undergraduate students, as well as lecturers on African studies. To make easier reading for the general public, the book contains some elements of what may be called popular history .

Download or read book Blood and Bronze written by Paddy Docherty and published by Hurst Publishers. This book was released on 2021-12-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For quite some time now, ethnographic museums in Europe have been compelled to legitimate themselves. Their exhibition-making has become a topic of discussion, as has the contentious history of their collections, which have come about through colonial appropriation. Clearly, this cannot continue. That the situation can be different is something that Clémentine Deliss explores in her current publication. She offers an intriguing mix of autobiographically-informed novel and conceptual thesis on contemporary art and anthropology. Reflections on her own work while she was Director of Frankfurt's Weltkulturen Museum (Museum of World Cultures) are interwoven with the explorations of influential filmmakers, artists and writers. She introduces the Metabolic Museum as an interventionist laboratory for remediating ethnographic collections for future generations. CLÉMENTINE DELISS has achieved international renown as a curator, cultural historian and publisher of artist's books. In her role as Director of the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt, as a curator, and as a professor and researcher at eminent institutes and academies, she focuses on transdisciplinary and transcultural exchanges. She is Associate Curator of KW Berlin and Guest Professor at the Academy of Arts, Hamburg.
