Eakin's Latest Retwittered


UPDATE (Sunday, January 27, 2013)
 ... and twitted.

Lobboblogger says "Just Say No"
"Hugh Eakin has written a thoughtful piece  [...] 
 Perhaps if museums just said no to repatriation claims they might actually encourage some rational discussion of the real issues facing preservation of artifacts from the past. 
Talk about missing the point.  And who is it who is avoiding rational discussion of the real issues facing preservation of archaeological information about the past, the museums that surrender stolen goods they've happened to have bought from this or that antiquities dealer, or antiquities dealers and their lobbyists?

And Judith H. Dobrzynski (sic) in her "A Short Message About Museums And Antiquities" (January 27, 2013) reckons Eakin is "pitch perfect".

Wheras, far more satisfying, and informed, is the reaction from CultureGrrl, "Antiquities Antics: Hugh Eakin’s Astonishing Anti-Repatriation Screed" (27th Jan 2013).
