White musicians from Bix Beiderbecke to Eric Clapton have appropriated musical styles from African-American culture. From North America to Australasia, artists have appropriated motifs and stories from aboriginal cultures. Novelists and filmmakers from one culture have taken as their subject matter the lives and practices of members of other cultures." "The practice of cultural appropriation has given rise to important ethical and aesthetic questions. Can cultural appropriation result in the production of aesthetically successful works of art? Is cultural appropriation in the arts morally objectionable? These questions have been widely debated by anthropologists, lawyers, art historians, advocates of the rights of indigenous peoples, literary critics, museum curators, and others. At root, however, these questions are philosophical. Now, for the first time, a philosopher undertakes a systematic investigation of the moral and aesthetic issues to which cultural appropriation gives rise."--BOOK JACKET.
