“…Political fragmentation and the constant proliferation of political parties are defining features of the political landscape in Lesotho (Matlosa & Shale 2011;Aerni-Flessner 2022). Political fragmentation is a contentious phenomenon: there DOI: 10.20940/JAE/2023/v22i1a7 is always a divergence of views on whether it impacts voter turnout positively or negatively.…”

“…Colonial officials were reluctant to push too hard for control over residency decisions because they feared losing the support of chiefs at a time when political developments in the territory were increasingly turbulent. 31 One result of this was that most of the control over residency decisions remained in Basotho hands.

Abstract:This article addresses a methodological lacuna in studies of African cultural property: states are rarely subjected to the same detailed ethnographic enquiry as communities local to heritage sites. I argue that this is the result of historical circumstances and disciplinary trends treating states as nebulous “up there” entities distinct from the grassroots—and, thus, subject to different modes of enquiry. I demonstrate a corrective approach through a historical ethnographic examination of the government of Lesotho’s archives, examining a period from 1991 to 1993 that saw early efforts to create a national monument at Thaba Bosiu. This detailed view reveals habits of thinking about heritage among bureaucrat-intellectuals, administrators, and international consultants. It offers new insights into how state actors articulated visions for new industries, public participation, and spirituality in public life as well as how to demonstrate incapacity to secure future development funds.
