Discover the pivotal narrative of cultural restitution in Benedicte Savoy's groundbreaking work, *Africa's Struggle for Its Art* (ISBN: 9780691264912). This trade paperback, published by Princeton University Press in 2025, delves into the historical struggle of African nations to reclaim their stolen art housed in Western museums. From the colonial era to the present day, this insightful book tackles the complex issues surrounding cultural heritage and the urgent calls for repatriation. Readers will explore rich, previously unpublished sources that reveal the depth of this often-overlooked discussion, challenging leading narratives about restitution.Savoy examines landmark events, such as the influential speech by Zaire's president, Mobutu Sese Seko, at the UN General Assembly, which ignited the global conversation on returning ancestral treasures. The author also highlights critical obstacles faced, including attempts by German museums to conceal their collections and legislative failures in the British Parliament concerning museum laws. This rigorous analysis culminates in the mid-1980s, marking the emergence of laws that prioritized the protection of African cultural heritage.
*Africa's Struggle for Its Art* is more than just a historical examination; it presents a compelling case for why the future of international relations between Africa and the West hinges on recognition, respect, and restitution of art. Essential for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and cultural identity, this book is poised to influence discussions around cultural property rights for years to come.

Best toy for dogs
Color: Blue
My dog plays with this for hours!

I wouldn’t recommend this for strong chewers.
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
Is it fun? Sure. Was it easy to charge and set up? Yep. That being said, this toy kind of fell flat for me. It really didn’t do any big movements once charged that I expected it to, so that was a bummer. I initially got it for my dog, but my cats were more interested in this than my dog was. The battery does seem to last a long time and the motor is pretty quiet. I WOULD NOT recommend this toy for strong chewers as the material for this is a foam rubber and I don’t think it’s durable enough for strong chewers. While the material makes this ball extremely lightweight for more movement, a strong chewer would have this disintegrated in five minutes flat. My Dog is a super strong chewer. I don’t think I would feel comfortable leaving him unattended with this because I know he would destroy it.

Well-designed and quiet, but didn’t keep my dog interested
Color: Blue
My dog was interested in this at first, but she would lose interest after a few minutes and move on.
I do like that it’s quieter than the hard plastic ball toys, and the charge lasts well. The internal charging port that twists closed is also a nice design feature.
That said, it will occasionally turn on by itself, which can be a little surprising. Overall, it has some nice features, but it just didn’t keep my dog engaged.

Good - for a few hours
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
Concept is fantastic. Dog loved it. Problem is that she figured out how to open it within two hours of play. The robot core, alas, did not survive. In the photo, you see a tooth went cleanly into the button and that was the end of the toy.
