Empire. Plunder. Resistance. The forgotten history of Britain and the Asante gold.A compelling, challenging and important book. William Boyd1874. Kumasi, the Asante capital, burns. British soldiers prowl the palace, looting as much gold as they can find, before razing it to the ground. In Britain the soldiers are feted as heroes. In 1896 they return, looting the palace a second time and carrying off more gold to London in triumph.Royalty, aristocracy and Londons most illustrious museums divide the spoils. It is scarcely possible to do justice to the variety and beauty of these specimens, The Times declares. There are golden masks, swooping eagles and an exquisitely wrought rams head. One mpomponsou a ceremonial sword comes wrapped in a leopard skin sheath.Tracing the course of Britains wars with the Asante alongside the course of its plundered relics, Barnaby Phillips weaves a thrilling and poignant tale of imperial ambition and African resistance. Travelling from the Gold Coast to the museum galleries, officers mess rooms and aristocratic homes of Britain, The African Kingdom of Gold confronts us with urgent questions about the legacy of Empire and, in particular, how our museums should respond.
