Opis

This book focuses on a forgotten place - the Khami World Heritage site in Zimbabwe. Informed by the author’s experience of living and working in Khami, it is about how places are experienced and remembered through narratives and how a loss of heritage memory may mark the un-inheriting of place.

Recenzje

Ashton Sinamai’s publication espouses the process by which Khami World Heritage Site lost its intangible values and the effects thereafter on its management and conservation…The book is well written and an interesting read even for non-professionals.
