Seychelles

Challenges to Identifying and Managing Intangible Cultural Heritage in Mauritius, Zanzibar and Seychelles
by Rosabelle Boswell

In this study of the culture and history of the Seychelles, author Rosabelle Boswell delves deep to challenge preconceptions about heritage conservation and questions what is funded and why. She reveals how the Western focus on the preservation of buildings, objects and archives affects islanders whose culture is largely expressed in less tangible ways: in music, ritual, healing practices and stories.
