About this book

Claiming the Stones, Naming the Bones: Cultural Property and the Negotiation of National and Ethnic Identity (Issues & Debates) by Barkan, Elazar. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780892366736.

These fourteen essays address controversies over a variety of cultural properties, exploring them from perspectives of law, archeology, physical anthropology, ethnobiology, ethnomusicology, history, and cultural and literary study. The book divides cultural property into three types: Tangible, unique property like the Parthenon marbles; intangible property such as folktales, music, and folk remedies; and communal "representations," which have lead groups to censor both outsiders and insiders as cultural traitors.
