The richness of Africa's heritage at times stands in stark contrast
to the economic, health, political and societal challenges faced.
Development is essential but in what forms? For whom? Following
whose agendas? At what costs? This book explores how heritage can
promote, secure, or undermine sustainable development with special
focus on sub-Saharan Africa, and in turn, how this affects
conceptions of heritage. The chapters in this volume identify
shared challenges, good practices and failures, and use specific
case studies to provide detailed insights into varied forms of
heritage and heritage defining processes on the continent. By
critically analysing the often romanticised discourses of
'heritage', 'community engagement', and 'sustainable development'
the volume suggests ways of harnessing aspects of heritage to
tackle some of the socio-economic and political pressures facing
heritage practices on the continent, including the legacies of
colonialism.
