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 Readers will explore rich, previously unpublished sources that reveal the depth of this often-overlooked discussion, challenging leading narratives about restitution.Savoy examines landmark events, such as the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.

Elegant look
Size: 8.5, Color: Champagne
Beautiful and delicate shoes. Look very minimal. Comfortable enough!

Super comfy, but side strap is a bit annoying
Size: 9, Color: Black Leather
Honest review of these shoes that I just wore to a wedding. They are SO comfortable, I wore them all night and didn't need to take them off. The only issue is that since the one strap just goes along the one side of the top of your foot, I did feel like it kind of pushed the shoe to the side. It's hard to describe, but when I was walking sometimes I could feel my food shifting off my shoe on the side.

Comfy shoe, Not a great dupe
Size: 6.5, Color: Black Leather, Size: 6.5, Color: Black Leather
These are so cute and comfy and I love them. Minus two stars because I specifically bought them for the little silver SM on the bottom so they’d look better than the ones at Walmart. These did not come with the little silver logo on the bottom.

Super cute but came damaged & really annoying to walk in
Size: 8, Color: Black Leather, Size: 8, Color: Black Leather
Super cute but mine came damaged and the straps don’t stay up great…
I love Steve Madden shoes, and own a few pairs already, so I had high hopes for these heels.
I ordered these for a wedding coming up and
I hadn’t opened the package right away as I was out of town, when I got back I was so excited to try them on only to find that they came already scuffed on the toes and heels!! It looked like they had been worn multiple times already, so that was upsetting.
In terms of fit, I ordered a size 8, and it fit true to size as far at the sole goes, as for the strap that goes from in between your toes and around your heel, it falls off after taking 3 steps and is honestly really annoying!
The strap that goes across the top of your foot was also wayyy loose on my feet and didn’t help the other strap stay in place much making it super difficult to walk in them, every step felt like they were about to fly off my feet!
Unfortunately, I will be returning them.
