“Being published in the shadow of the ongoing conflict in Sudan and recent examples of extensive looting of the National Museum of Sudan in Khartoum, the volume’s critical consideration of cultural heritage and its loss remain as relevant and pertinent today as it was during the Nubian Campaign.”-Robert J.
