The Uses and Functions of Heritage in Postcolonial Communities

Resumen

This paper aims in exploring distinct notions of heritage and security from a bottom-up and decolonial line of action, and contributing to the production of knowledge within anthropology  by pointing to a conceptual and empirical connection between heritage and security. This research examines this intersection through the methodological approach of comparative ethnography. The intersection offers an insight into a decolonial approach, critical perspective, and constructivist paradigm from the proposed framework.
