Abstract (in English)
This resource book is designed for managers of sites and itineraries of memory related to the slave trade and slavery. It provides a comparative analysis of experiences in the preservation and promotion of such sites across the world and proposes practical guidance for their management and development. It is the first resource book on this specific issue to be published by a UN agency, and provides guidelines on how best to preserve, promote and manage sites of memory, taking into account the sensitivity of this painful memory. Designed in two parts, the resource book contains conceptual and practical information for managers. It showcases concrete examples of sites and museums implementing particular strategies for the preservation, promotion and interpretation of heritage related to the slave trade and slavery. Moreover, it offers advice and recommendations for the development of memory tourism, responding to the growing demand from citizens to better know this history. Its main purpose is to contribute to capacity-building for the benefit of site managers and memory itineraries, and to raise awareness on the ethical issues posed by these historical sites.
Ce manuel est conçu pour les gestionnaires de sites et d’itinéraires de mémoire liés à la traite négrière et à l’esclavage. Il analyse de manière comparative les expériences dans la préservation et la promotion de ces sites à travers le monde et propose des orientations concrètes pour leur gestion et leur développement. Il constitue le premier manuel sur ce sujet publié par une agence des Nations Unies et propose des lignes directrices sur la meilleure façon de préserver, de promouvoir et de gérer les sites et itinéraires d’histoire et de mémoire, en tenant compte du caractère sensible de cette mémoire douloureuse. Conçu en deux parties, il contient des informations d’ordre conceptuel et pratique à l’intention des gestionnaires, et présente de nombreux exemples complets de sites, d’itinéraires et de musées mettant en oeuvre des stratégies particulières de préservation, de promotion et d’interprétation des patrimoines liés à l’histoire de la traite négrière et de l’esclavage. Il offre enfin des conseils et des recommandations pour le développement d’un tourisme de mémoire répondant à la demande croissante des citoyens pour approfondir la connaissance de cette Histoire et de cette mémoire. Son principal objectif est de contribuer au renforcement des capacités des gestionnaires des sites et des itinéraires de mémoire et à la sensibilisation sur les questions éthiques suscitées par ces lieux chargés d’histoire.
