'This sense of the "legitimate looting" of war is set against other statements by African scholars that the Asante treasures weren't mere objects prior to their theft, but "entities" with souls. Phillips doesn't just track how interpretations of the objects have changed. He shows how repatriation itself emerges as a competing claim about what these objects mean.' 2/2 From Delinda Collier's review of the same book, TLS 6403
