I enjoyed the majority of this book, apart from part 2 The Classroom, perhaps due to the academic, dry style this book is written in.
If you frequently go to museums or art galleries and/or interested in art history or history, then I would recommend reading this book if you want to start questioning the role museums still have today on holding objects forcefully take during colonisation. Just take on board the fact that this book can be quite heavy in its content and dry in its writing style.

There is discussion of museum display of human remains. The history section of one object discusses lynching and the death of Emmett Till.
