| book description |

Deconstructing Dinosaurs takes a fresh look at the history of the German Tendaguru Expedition (1909â€“1913), using recently uncovered sources to reveal how Berlinâ€™s Natural History Museum appropriated and extracted 225 tonnes of dinosaur fossils from land belonging to modern-day Tanzania. It examines the colonial conditions under which the areaâ€™s inhabitants located, excavated, and prepared the finds and carried them out of the countryâ€™s interior to the coast. Once in Berlin, the fossils were transformed into valuable scientific assets and prize exhibits, foremost among them Giraffatitan brancai. This specimen, a prominent subject of provenance and restitution debates, is used to explore the colonial legacy of natural history collections and the social and political responsibilities of the museums that hold them.
