Reclaiming Heritage Alternative Imaginaries of Memory in West Africa

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】

Struggles over the meaning of the past are common in postcolonial states. State cultural heritage programs build monuments to reinforce in nation building effortsーoften supported by international organizations and tourist dollars. These efforts often ignore the other, often more troubling memories preserved by local communitiesーmarkers of colonial oppression, cultural genocide, and ethnic identity. Yet, as the contributors to this volume note, questions of memory, heritage, identity and conservation are interwoven at the local, ethnic, national and global level and cannot be easily disentangled. In a fascinating series of cases from West Africa, anthropologists, archaeologists and art historians show how memory and heritage play out in a variety of postcolonial contexts. Settings range from televised ritual performances in Mali to monument conservation in Djenne and slavery memorials in Ghana.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
