However, cultural heritage resources in many parts of the developing world are gradually becoming key in social (e.g. communities’ identities and museums), economic (heritage tourism and eco-tourism), educational (curriculum development), civic (intergenerational awareness), and international resources management (e.g. UNESCO). In universities, African cultural heritage resources are facing a challenge of being brought into various academic discourses and syllabi in a rather reactive and/or haphazard approach, resulting in failure to fully address and research these resources’ conservation needs to ensure that their use in multiple platforms and by various stakeholders is sustainable. This book seeks to place African cultural heritage studies and conservation practices within an international and modern world discourse of conservation by presenting its varied themes and topics that are important for the development of the wider field of cultural heritage studies and management.Cultural propertyCulture—Study and teachingManagementSustainable developmentArchitectureCultural Heritagehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/419000Regional and Cultural Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000Cultural Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22050Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Architectural History and Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K12008Cultural property.Culture—Study and teaching.Management.Sustainable development.Architecture.Cultural Heritage.Regional and Cultural Studies.Cultural Management.Sustainable Development.Architectural History and Theory.363.69Keitumetse Susan Osireditseauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut887220BOOK9910255241703321African Cultural Heritage Conservation and Management1982031UNINA
