Operation Legacy: Looting & Losing Africa's Kingdoms

Operation Legacy Looting and Losing Africa's Kingdoms is a treatment of how colonial powers looted precious artefacts across Africa; still hold them in personal and public collections, some known and others unknown; and the violence of the looting and its consequences. The story reaches back into the basic assumptions around colonial rule and debunks them in spectacular contemporary fashion. All these are seen through the lens of the most recent looting exercise, captured in the revealing of the top-secret colonial scheme known as 'Operation Legacy', revealing the agitators that led to the discovery. Seeing the connected dots, the book exposes the looted artifact. and looted archives and the belief that the hasty return 200 years late will make good the original sin. All these and more make this book a compelling read.
