      title = {African heritage challenges : communities and sustainable  development /},
      abstract = {The richness of Africas heritage at times stands in stark  contrast to the economic, health, political, and societal  challenges that the continent faces across variegated  contexts. Development is essential but in what forms? For  whom? Following whose agendas? At what costs? This book,  with a special focus on sub-Saharan Africa, explores how  heritage can promote, secure, or undermine sustainable  development, and in turn, how this affects conceptions of  heritage. The chapters 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. By critically analysing the  often romanticised discourses of heritage, community  engagement, and sustainable development it suggests ways of  harnessing aspects of heritage to tackle some of the  socioeconomic and political pressures facing heritage  practices on the continent, including the legacies of  colonialism.
