Exploring diverse topics with specificity and drawing from a refreshingly varied range of contributors, this unique and timely volume serves as a beachhead for further work on the safeguarding of Creole intangible cultural heritage in our changing world. -Jenna Grace Sciuto, author of Policing Intimacy: Law, Sexuality, and the Color Line in Twentieth-Century Hemispheric American Literature This edited collection considers the significance of Creole cultures within current, changing global contexts. With a particular focus on post-colonial Small Island Developing States, it brings together perspectives from academics, policy makers and practitioners including those based in Dominica, St Lucia, Seychelles and Mauritius. Together they provide a rich exploration of issues that arise in relation to safeguarding the intangible cultural heritage that sustains Creole identities. Commencing with considerations of the UNESCO (2003) Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), the collection then presents case studies from the Seychelles, Mauritius, St. Lucia and Dominica. These attest to the many and different ways through which Creole cultural practices remain significant to the lived experiences of Creole communities. These chapters exemplify how through activities such as storytelling, singing, dancing, making artworks and the alternative economic practice of koudmen, Creole peoples sustain cultural identities that draw strength from their traditions. Yet there is also recognition of the continual struggle to sustain Creole cultural practices in the face of global economic and political pressures and related uncertainties. This global economic landscape also has an impact upon how Creole cultures are presented to tourists and hence upon the ways in which cultural practices are supported. Violet Cuffy, who tragically passed away in December 2021, held a PhD in Sustainable Tourism Management from the University of Surrey, UK. Violet was Senior Lecture in Events and Tourism Management at the University of Bedfordshire, UK. Jane Carr is Head of Academic Studies at Bird College and a member of the Research Institute for Media, Arts and Performance at the University of Bedfordshire, UK.
