Khami

The management of heritage sites, such as the Khami World Heritage Site in Zimbabwe, is profoundly influenced by national narratives and cultural contexts. This study reveals that a site's significance in the national narrative, shaped by factors like culture, identity, and rights, determines its conservation approach. The research analyzes how local and national memory, alongside criteria for identification and management, impact heritage policies. It argues that the historical celebration of a nation and the context of a heritage place are pivotal in shaping its management strategies. By examining Khami's cultural landscape, the study provides insights into broader trends affecting World Heritage Site conservation.
