Routledge Handbook of Critical African Heritage Studies
"This handbook is a foundational reference point for critical heritage research about Africa and its diaspora. Foregrounding the diversity of knowledge systems needed to examine heritage issues in such a diverse continent, the contributors to this volume: - argue for an understanding heritage that is at once both natural and cultural, tangible and intangible, political and dissonant, going beyond the physical and objective to include subjective n…
Decoloniality and critical African heritage studies
This paper explores the potential coloniality of Critical Heritage Studies (CHS) as it is experienced by some in African contexts. In response it calls for a decolonial turn that recognises a need for epistemological pluralism in this disciplinary area. The paper begins by distinguishing between decoloniality and decolonisation. It then summarises the colonial roots of heritage and their persistence in some African heritage thinking and practice …
Decolonizing the Tropics
This special issue is a collection of papers that addresses and enacts the theme of decolonizing the tropics. Each article provides a sense of how we can untangle ourselves from entrenched colonial epistemologies and ontologies through detailed articulations of research practice. Drawing together humanities and social sciences, the papers collectively address questions of whose voices are heard or silenced, what positions we write from, how we ar…
Decoloniality and Tropicality
The papers collected together in this special issue on the theme 'decoloniality and tropicality' discuss and demonstrate how we can move towards disentangling ourselves from persistent colonial epistemologies and ontologies. Engaging theories of decoloniality and postcolonialism with tropicality, the articles explore the material poetics of philosophical reverie; the 'tropical natureculture' imaginaries of sex tourism, ecotourism, and militourism…

Perceptions of the various cultural landscapes of tropical Africa continue to be overdetermined by western philosophies. This is, of course, a legacy of colonialism and the neo-colonial global politics that dictate types of knowledge, and direct flows of knowledge. Knowledges of the communities of former colonised countries are seen as ancillary at best, and at worst, irrational. However, such ‘indigenous knowledge’ systems contain information th…

Managing heritage in Africa
There are very few books on heritage management in Africa, largely because many of those researchers who have undertaken archaeological research in Africa are not responsible for its conservation
African Cultural Heritage Conservation and Management
Most of the literature in archaeology and heritage management is generated from studies in Europe and North America. This literature has created standards which the rest of the world follow for the
Myths as metaphors
Melodies of God
Sacred landscapes require a holistic approach for conservation. They are intimate spaces, susceptible to cultural erosion if the focus is on material culture only. Mainstream conservation theories and processes, developed from western heritage traditions, emphasize monumentality. However, there are unquantifiable connections between people and place, which if eroded, can result in memory erasure and, ultimately, the un-inheriting of the heritage …
