{"product_id":"decolonizing-heritage-ferdinand-de-jong-9781316514535","title":"Decolonizing Heritage","description":"Senegal features prominently on the UNESCO World Heritage List. As many of its cultural heritage sites are remnants of the French empire, how does an independent nation care for the heritage of colonialism? How does it reinterpret slave barracks, colonial museums, and monuments to empire to imagine its own national future? This book examines Senegal's decolonization of its cultural heritage. Revealing how L駮pold S馘ar Senghor's philosophy of N馮ritude inflects the interpretation of its colonial heritage, Ferdinand de Jong demonstrates how Senegal's reinterpretation of heritage sites enables it to overcome the legacies of the slave trade, colonialism, and empire. Remembering and reclaiming a Pan-African future, De Jong shows how World Heritage sites are conceived as the archive of an Afrotopia to come, and, in a move towards decolonization, how they repair colonial time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ferdinand de Jong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316514536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316514535\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Ferdinand de Jong","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994659356927,"sku":"9781316514535","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82730eba-244a-4e67-968f-e195a2726fd9.jpg?v=1683331443","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decolonizing-heritage-ferdinand-de-jong-9781316514535","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
