- Cultural appropriation is a pervasive feature of the
contemporary world (the Parthenon Marbles remain in London; white
musicians from Bix Beiderbeck to Eric Clapton have appropriated
musical styles from African-American culture)
- Young offers the first systematic philosophical investigation
of the moral and aesthetic issues to which cultural appropriation
gives rise
- Tackles head on the thorny issues arising from the clash and
integration of cultures and their artifacts
- Questions considered include: “Can cultural appropriation
result in the production of aesthetically successful works of
art?” and “Is cultural appropriation in the arts
morally objectionable?”
- Part of the highly regarded New Directions in Aesthetics series
