Routes of Remembrance: Refashioning the Slave Trade in Ghana

by Bayo Holsey (Author)

Synopsis

Why do Ghanaians suppress the history of enslavement? This book tackles this question by analyzing the slave trade's absence from public versions of coastal Ghanaian family and community histories, its troubled presentation in the country's classrooms and nationalist narratives, and its elaboration by the transnational tourism industry.
