520 African Cultures, Memory and Space is an impeccable volume
that powerfully grapples with a gamut of cultural heritage
issues, challenges and problems from a vista of inter- and
multi-disciplinary approach. The book, which is designed
as a foundational text to the study of culture in ever-
changing environments, makes an important argument that
the dynamism of culture in highly globalised societies
such as that of Zimbabwe can be studied from any
perspective, but most importantly through careful
examination of cultural elements such as memory, oral
history and space, among others. While the book makes
special reference to Zimbabwe, it profoundly and
audaciously dissects and cuts across different
geographical and cultural spaces through its penetrating
interrogation and scrutiny of different issues commonplace
in many African contexts and even beyond. The book,
written by scholars from different backgrounds and
orientations, should appeal to scholars, researchers and
students from various disciplines which include but not
limited to Cultural Heritage Studies, Policy Studies,
Social-Cultural Anthropology, Sociology, Development
Studies and African Studies.
