ASOR AM22 | Conserving the Heritage of Religious and Ethnic Minorities in North Africa

Challenges and Prospects of Conserving the Heritage of Religious and Ethnic Minorities in North Africa Will Raynolds | ASOR CHI Since its initial monitoring, reporting and factfinding work in Libya in 2016, ASOR Cultural Heritage Initiatives recorded a pattern of Sufi heritage destroyed as part of a targeted attempt to erase the heritage of this religious minority. Expanding on this work, ASOR has recently embarked on an effort to document sites of religious and ethnic minorities in Tunisia and Morocco, including work with members of the Jewish, Christian, Ibadi, and Amazigh minority communities. This paper describes ASOR's recent documentation and outreach activities in cooperation with members of religious and ethnic communities, its efforts to build relationships between government and community members to improve the protection and preservation of religious and cultural heritage, and finally its ongoing work to foster interfaith cooperation and communal dialogue for the protection of heritage important to religious and ethnic communities.
