This book examines engages with various issues related to heritage and sustainable development in Africa, from multi-disciplinary points of view. The main aim of this volume is to determine in what ways heritage, sustainability, and development intersect in Africa. This firstly implies that the relationships, tensions, and challenges between heritage, development, and sustainability in Africa had to be investigated. Secondly, it requires reflection on how heritage is conceptualised in diverse African contexts and how it interfaces with social, economic, and political priorities. For this epilogue, the chapters of the volume have been analysed in the context of these objectives. It also attempts to reflect on what issues relating to heritage, development and sustainability are specifically relevant to Africa and whether they are distinct to certain parts of Africa. Possible actions to be considered to rectify tensions and to address challenges are also indicated.
