Notes
1 For a detailed recount of the various displacements of Mexico’s national collections, see Achim, Deans-Smith, and Rozental 2022.
2 For analyses of some of these more unusual exchanges, see Achim Citation2012.
3 Justo Sierra to Roberto Ñúñez, vice secretary of finance, May 18, 1909 (Sierra Citation1984, 289–90).
4 There is a great deal of ambivalence in this decision to remove Columbus, to ensure it would not be toppled and destroyed, while at the same time replacing it with a symbol of Mexico’s pre-Columbian past. For a complex take on the politics of monuments in relation to this episode, see Rozental Citation2021.
5 See Quemain Citation2007.
6 For a rich series of reflections on the practices of writing colonial Latin American history, see Melvin and Sellers-García Citation2017. See also Gorbach and Rufer Citation2016.
7 The title of my essay is inspired by the title and arguments of this book.
8 Restitution has been the topic of a new exhibit; for comments on it, see Rozental Citation2022. By contrast, Peru has actively pursued the return of Peruvian colonial art; see Urteaga Citation2022.
