- Unveiling Local Research and Development Initiatives

Bag om Community-based Heritage in Africa

Schmidt explores how and why local research initiatives, which are often motivated by rapid culture change caused by globalization, arose among the Haya people of western Tanzania. This frank appraisal privileges local voices and focuses attention on the unique and important contributions that such projects can make to the preservation of regional history. Through a blend of personalized narrative and analytical examination, the book provides fresh insights into African archaeology and heritage studies.
