The International African Library synopsis

Heritage work has a uniquely wide currency in Africa's politics. He believed in the pages of the books, encoded in the legal laws, covered with the issues of the glass display, and changed the court rituals.

The artifacts produced by the heritage domain became a source of government administration, an office of the traditionalists and a source of marketing. Value for cultural entrepreneurs.

The "Heritage Policy in Africa" ​​combines different fields of study - history, archeology, linguistics, performing arts and cinema - to show how life has been transformed into capital, a repository of authentic knowledge that political and cultural entrepreneurs can draw from. This book presents African heritage as a means of political organization, a means by which the effects of the past can be supported, reconstructed and re-evaluated as commodities, as tradition, as ethics or as heritage..
