Summary "Through interviews and an analysis of archival materials, this thesis traces the process of how the Khami World Heritage site became un-inherited at the local and national level. The thesis examines how this is a result of several factors that have influenced preservation decisions made about Khami, among them the changing group identities in Matabeleland and Zimbabwe over recent centuries, the processes of remembering and forgetting in identity and nation building and the 'development' of land through colonial policies and heritage legislation and policies, as well as how modern interpretations of the site have alienated the World Heritage property from local communities and expunged it from the national narrative." -- from the Abstract
