This book looks at the development politics that shaped the UNESCO World Heritage programme, with a case study of Ethiopian World Heritage sites from the 1960s to the 1980s. In a large-scale conservation and tourism planning project, selected sites were set up and promoted as images of the Ethiopian nation. This story serves to illustrate UNESCO?s role in constructing a ?useful past? in many African countries engaged in the process of nation-building. UNESCO experts and Ethiopian elites had a shared interest in producing a portfolio of antiquities and national parks to underwrite Ethiopia?s imperial claims to regional hegemony with ancient history. The key findings of this book highlight a continuity in Ethiopian history, despite the political ruptures caused by the 1974 revolution and UNESCO?s transformation from knowledge producer to actual provider of development policies. The particular focus on the bureaucratic and political practices of heritage, bridges a gap between cultural heritage studies and the history of international organisations. The result is a first study of the global discourse on heritage as it emerged in the 1960s development decade. 410 0$aAfrica in Global History 606 $aCultural property$zEthiopia 606 $aCultural property$xProtection$zEthiopia 606 $aHISTORY / Africa / General$2bisacsh 607 $aEthiopia$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 610 $aCultural heritage. 610 $aDevelopmental history. 610 $aGeography. 610 $aGlobal history. 615 0$aCultural property 615 0$aCultural property$xProtection 615 7$aHISTORY / Africa / General. 676 $a963 700 $aHuber$b Marie$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0864196 712 02$aHumboldt-Universität Berlin$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 712 02$aGerda Henkel Stiftung, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996379040203316 996 $aDeveloping heritage - developing countries$91928884 997 $aUNISA
