From The White Walls
"From the white walls" is a narrative examination of the history of the Cape Coast and Elmina Castles in the Central Region of Ghana; what they have signified in the past, and what they now signify. This piece draws on notions from Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic philosophy described in "Time and Narrativity," Orlando Patterson's "Slavery and Social Death," Frank B. Wilderson's "Afro-pessimism," and George Simmel's "Bridge and Door."
