       Chinese question -- Identity matters -- Epilogue. 
520    Whether antiquities should be returned to the countries 
       where they were found is one of the most urgent and 
       controversial issues in the art world today, and it has 
       pitted museums, private collectors, and dealers against 
       source countries, archaeologists, and academics. 
       Maintaining that the acquisition of undocumented 
       antiquities by museums encourages the looting of 
       archaeological sites, countries such as Italy, Greece, 
       Egypt, Turkey, and China have claimed ancient artifacts as
       state property, called for their return from museums 
       around the world, and passed laws against their future 
       export. But in Who Owns Antiquity?, one of the world's 
       leading museum directors vigorously challenges this 
       nationalistic position, arguing that it is damaging and 
       often disingenuous. "Antiquities," James Cuno argues, "are
       the cultural property of all humankind," "evidence of the 
       world's ancient past and not that of a particular modern 
       nation. They comprise antiquity, and antiquity knows no 
       borders." Cuno argues that nationalistic retention and 
       reclamation policies impede common access to this common 
       heritage and encourage a dubious and dangerous 
       politicization of antiquities--and of culture itself. 
       Antiquities need to be protected from looting but also 
       from nationalistic identity politics. To do this, Cuno 
       calls for measures to broaden rather than restrict 
       international access to antiquities. He advocates 
       restoration of the system under which source countries 
       would share newly discovered artifacts in exchange for 
       archaeological help, and he argues that museums should 
       again be allowed reasonable ways to acquire undocumented 
       antiquities. Cuno explains how partage broadened access to
       our ancient heritage and helped create national museums in
       Cairo, Baghdad, and Kabul. The first extended defense of 
       the side of museums in the struggle over antiquities, Who 
       Owns Antiquity? is sure to be as important as it is 
       controversial. -- Publisher's description.
