Now, for the first time, a philosopher undertakes a systematic
investigation of the moral and aesthetic issues to which cultural
appropriation gives rise.
* 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
