Contesting Human Remains in Museum Collections: The Crisis of Cultural Authority - Routledge Research in Museum Studies
Jenkins, Tiffany (Institute of Ideas, London, UK)

It establishes that the issue has been promoted by influential members of the sector as part of a broader attempt to distance themselves from their foundational role as a consequence of a crisis of cultural authority.
