Cultural Heritage and Tourism in Africa examines the multiple and
diverse manifestations of cultural heritage-based tourism in Africa
from a regional, social science, and sustainability perspective.
This book delivers a comprehensive treatise on the interdependent
concepts of cultural heritage and tourism. Heritage is one of the
most pervasive tourism assets worldwide and lies at the foundations
of tourism in many localities, including Africa. However, despite
its salience, there has not been a systematic examination of
Africa's heritage resources, markets, policies, practices,
successes, and challenges in a tourism framework, despite the
continent's immense heritage value. This book reviews the different
types of heritages that pervade the cultural environment of Africa
and comprises its vast heritagescapes. It also examines the
increasing potential for the growth of heritage tourism throughout
the entire continent. The contributions in this volume delve into
current thinking about space and place and their effects on
heritage, mobilities, globalization, colonialism and indigeneity,
conflict, identity and nation-building, connections with other
regions through migration and the slave trade, and a greater
emphasis on the ordinary heritage of Africa, which has long been
ignored by tourism scholars and industry representatives. The
chapters herein are authored by Africa specialists, most being from
Africa, offering a truly African perspective. The chapters are
conceptually rigorous and empirically rich with examples from all
regions of the African continent. This unparalleled
interdisciplinary glimpse at cultural heritage and tourism in
Africa delivers strong value and is a vital resource for all
students and researchers of tourism, cultural studies, heritage
studies, geography, anthropology, sociology, history, and global
studies.
