If this book had been titled something like "How to listen" or "How to be all ears, " the title would have been appropriate to the content and directly explained the book's focus. Why, then, does the title prefer to obscure its subject rather than reveal it, running counter to a title's traditional function? The reason is that this book is grounded in the experience of the unseen listener. Speakers are seen when they speak, whereas listeners recede into the background of the scene dominated by speakers. Listeners spend a long time listening to that around them, and hope to maintain their wallflower position when they speak - their speech having no need to take front row or appear in the spotlight. The title of this book conceals its subject in a desire to protect the listener from returning to the spotlight once he or she has left it.

Should museums be made to give back their marbles? Is it even possible to 'decolonize' our galleries? Must Rhodes fall?

How to deal with the colonial history of art in museums and monuments in the public realm is a thorny issue we are only just beginning to address. Alice Procter, creator of *Uncomfortable Art Tours*, provides a manual for deconstructing everything you thought you knew about art history and tells the stories that have been left out of the canon.

Discover the propaganda painting the East India Company used to justify its rule in India, the tattooed Māori skulls collected as 'art objects' by Europeans and the contemporary artists who are taking on colonial history in their work and activism today.

A valuable contribution to the urgent ongoing conversation around colonial history and cultural restitution.
