The landscape of heritage on the African continent is the product of neoliberal economic and social interventions from the 1980s–2000s: the prevalence and influence of heritage NGOs; aid for cultural programmes contingent on government reforms; the use of national heritage policies and projects to signal ready capital; experiments in custodianship and private enterprise that balance conservation with consumerism; and so on. This Element synthesises literature from anthropology, archaeology, history, and geography to describe a significant period of heritage policy and discourse on the African continent – its historical situation, on-the-ground realities, and continuing legacies in the era of sustainable development and climate crises.

1. The Heritage of Neoliberal Development; 2. Heritage Governance in a Neoliberal World; 3. Capitalising on Heritage; 4. Infrastructure and the Business of Preservation by Record; 5. Neoliberal Legacies.
