. . . I traveled to Ghana to conduct research in the historic castles and dungeons of Cape Coast and Elmina. . . . I went there to study how the curators of these sites reconstructed the history of the slave trade, and how visitors interacted with the history exhibitions and the physical environment. Specifically, I wanted to understand how visitors formulated ideas about remembrance, cultural identity, and heritage in the space of the monuments. . .
