Let me shed some light on the subject.

„Africa’s Struggle for Its Art: History of a Postcolonial Defeat“

Is a Book of Bénédicte Savoy.

I met her and talked to her a few times about this topic, because we worked in the same prestigious cultural institution, the Humboldt Forum. I quit there, among other things, because I witnessed firsthand the cynical handling of the Restition of the Benin Bronzes , a group of several thousand metal plaques and sculptures that decorated the royal palace of the Kingdom of Benin, in what is now Edo State, Nigeria. And I am talking of only one institution. There are many reputable sources about this topic.
