| Description: |
For 143 years, Cape Coast Castle on the 'Gold Coast' of Ghana was, in the words of one of its governors, the 'Grand Emporium' of the British slave trade. This fortress, a UNESCO world heritage site, stained with a history that has affected the whole world, is the subject of this book. |
| Synopsis: |
For those able to visit much of the experience is still as it was during the slaving era. However, to understand the Castle's extraordinary history, the main travelling must always take place in the imagination. William St Clair tells the story of the Castle and of the people who spent part of their lives within its walls, men, women, and children, Europeans, Africans, free and enslaved. Drawing on many previously unpublished letters, accounts, and reports, he enables readers from many nations to appreciate its unique claim on the collective memory of the modern world. |
