African art and with it its cultural heritage was denied during the period of colonization. Their manifestations then responded to that of primitive peoples, within the scope of Anthropology and Ethnology. However, since the African independences, there has been a vindication of their culture and with it their heritage. In the American case, this will happen mainly when the idea of the nation state, those who formed it, its historical construction, etc., begins to be put in tension. This recovery coincides not only with the rescue of this legacy in Africa but also, somewhat later, with the heritage of Atlantic Afro-descendants, both in Europe and America. UNESCO has played a fundamental role in this reactivation and enhancement, albeit not without controversy. The large amount of World Heritage of European heritage in Africa has been a point of difficulty in the identity acceptance of this heritage.<\/p>\n\n
The richness of African heritage, both tangible and intangible, is unquestionable. Added to this is the variety and importance of the heritage of Afro-descendants, especially through the diaspora processes of the Atlantic Trafficking. Although part of this heritage has been declared World Heritage, most of it has not yet achieved this status. However, African heritage poses identity problems for some communities, in different areas, almost always linked to the assumption of Africanness by people of African descent and the acceptance of this heritage as African by African people. On the other hand, cultural heritage has served, and continues to serve, as a support and guarantor of the construction of the identity of many peoples. Approaches to the decolonization of African collections and the rethinking of Atlantic history with the involvement of people of African descent is another element to be addressed. The problems arising from the protection of heritage, its enhancement, the clashes in the defense of heritage variety in the face of certain uniformity policies of the States, its use as a political weapon, the reinterpretation and evolution of historical heritage are aspects that must also be addressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":0,"template":"","congreso":[],"class_list":["post-3162","panel","type-panel","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redestudiosafricanos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panel\/3162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redestudiosafricanos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panel"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redestudiosafricanos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/panel"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redestudiosafricanos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/56"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/redestudiosafricanos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panel\/3162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5286,"href":"https:\/\/redestudiosafricanos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/panel\/3162\/revisions\/5286"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redestudiosafricanos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"congreso","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redestudiosafricanos.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/congreso?post=3162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
