Sally Price

About the Author

Sally Price is a distinguished anthropologist and writer whose work bridges the worlds of art, culture, and colonialism. With a keen eye for the intersections of power and aesthetics, she has long explored how museums and artifacts shape our understanding of history and identity. Her seminal book, Paris Primitive: Jacques Chirac's Museum on the Quai Branly, offers a incisive critique of France's premier ethnographic institution, examining its role in perpetuating imperial narratives while showcasing indigenous art. Drawing from decades of fieldwork and archival research, Price's writing challenges readers to reconsider the politics of display and the legacies of empire. A professor emerita at the College of Staten Island, she continues to influence debates in anthropology and cultural studies through her provocative and elegantly crafted prose.
