Abstract

In this text Saidiya Hartman elaborates questions about diaspora and mourning from her visit to Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle, in Ghana, and to the House of Slaves, in Gorée Island, Senegal. Perceiving the articulations between memory and tourism, the author tensions official narratives and mourning performances, considering the time of slavery as a continuous event that makes us “contemporaries of the dead”.
