Participatory Archaeology and Heritage Studies: Perspectives from
Africa provides new ways to look at and think about the practice of
community archaeology and heritage studies across the globe. Long
hidden from view, African experiences and experiments with
participatory archaeology and heritage studies have poignant
lessons to convey about local initiatives, local needs, and local
perspectives among communities as diverse as an Islamic community
on the edge of an ancient city in Sudan to multi-ethnic rural
villages near rock art sites in South Africa. Straddling both
heritage studies and archaeological practice, this volume
incorporates a range of settings, from practical experiments with
sustainable pottery kilns in Kenya, to an elite palace and its
hidden traditional heritage in Northwestern Tanzania, to ancestral
knowledge about heritage landscapes in rural Ethiopia. The genesis
of participatory practices in Africa are traced back to the 1950s,
with examples of how this legacy has played out over six
decades-setting the scene for a deeply rooted practice now gaining
widespread acceptance. The chapters in this book were originally
published in the Journal of Community Archaeology and Heritage.
