Decolonizing by Indigenizing the Teaching of the Significance of a Tourist Attraction in Higher Education Tourism Discipline: The Case Study of Ncome
Abstract
Globally, tourist attractions are still dominantly Western in representation. The previously colonized history in such spaces is still experiencing discrimination, and their narratives as such are mostly silenced or underrepresented even in all sectors of life. Museums are not an exception, as this chapter identifies a gap in the representation of African Indigenous stories and knowledge using the case study of Ncome Museum, which exposes that literature portrays the story of the Battle of Ncome in a Westernized manner while also silencing the representation of African people. The chapter is grounded in the theories of decolonial and the Erasure of Memory of African people. Therefore, the chapter proposes that in decolonizing museums, all races, classes, ethnicities, and genders must be represented justly. No colonization, memory erasure, or misrepresentation must be incorporated even in teaching and learning of tourism in higher education. The chapter introduces some resources that could enhance the teaching of Heritage Sites from indigenous and decolonial perspectives.
