Stakeholder Perspectives on World Heritage and Development in Africa

1. The book offers a unique insight into local stakeholders' perspectives on World Heritage and development in Africa.

2. Drawing on empirical evidence gathered in conversation with stakeholders at heritage sites across Africa, the book explores the opportunities and challenges involved in implementing conservation and socioeconomic development as part of a stakeholder-driven process. The book will be essential reading for academics, students and practitioners around the world who are interested in museums and heritage, conservation, development and the African continent.

3. The scattered information and data paucity on stakeholders’ perspectives on conservation and development creates a gap on the market and in the literature for a book that presents consolidated empirical-based data towards advocating for a mindset shift in heritage management in Africa.The proposed book will fill that gap.
