 A substantial catalyst for academic and popular discussion of cultural appropriation (particularly in Canada) was the recommendation in 1992 of an ad hoc committee of the Canada Council to take cultural appropriation into account in its decisions about the award of arts grants (Rowell 1995: 138). Concerns about government funding for work about culturally marginalized peoples made by non-group members are theoretically consistent with finding cultural appropriation unobjectionable if it succeeds in the marketplace of its own merits (Rowell 1995: 141). However, in more recent years, public and scholarly discussion has shifted beyond this narrower question about government funding towards more general discussion of whether cultural appropriation is wrongful.
