Following the death of George Floyd in May of 2020, many museums and museum professionals reignited long-held discussions surrounding the nature of the museum as an institution and the ethics revolving around their collections. This is a resource guide, in book form, for those inside and outside the museum industry who want to initiate change regarding the way non-Western art is presented and displayed, or for those who want to learn about the history of the colonial museum.

This book features Nugent’s essay, “A Desire for the Primitive: The Lasting ‘Othering’ of African Art in Western Museums,” as a companion text to the resources provided.
