Coastal cultural heritage is profoundly embodied in Africa. This is evident in the way in which coastal communities describe their physical and sensorial attachments to the sea and coast. In this chapter on Lamu, Kenya, it is proposed that the presence of the delta and the open sea ensures that coastal communities develop a substantial embodied relationship with water. The embodied experience manifests in leisure, work, play and ritual practice. As in South Africa narrated previously, the coastline of Lamu is diversely defined and experienced. It is a place of superposition because it too has overlapping worlds: Swahili and Islamic cosmologies, Sufi rituals, dhow trade routes, tourism and the embodied experiences of the fishermen and coastal dwellers. The islands’ inscription by Islam and the unity that the religion confers suggests that unlike South Africa, Lamu people have been able to publicly sustain their coastal cultural heritage. The peoples of Lamu are not only immersed in watery states but are themselves fluid potentials. They are with water, navigate it, are soaked by it and draw from it lessons for survival. They experience, via life on the deltas, a ‘buoyancy’ that enables actual proprioception and symbolic poise to remain afloat, to thrive. These quantic qualities of life subvert conventional or, at least, a teleological concept of decoloniality and heritage management in Africa. They also challenge the notion of an African ‘Postcolonial subject’, a person referenced by a territorialised and fixed, political moment in time. Instead, and as narrated in this chapter, life in Lamu exposes an agility and multilocality to heritage and identity. There is familiarity in emerging memories of the past, familiar physiognomies, tastes and linguistic continuities. But there is also the unfamiliar, borne by unknown flows of artefact, culture and history, in dhows, Islam, Arabic and Indian Ocean archipelagic inheritances.
