Meera Venkatachalam
Slavery, Memory and Religion in Southeastern Ghana, c.1850–Present aims to reconstruct the religious history of the Anlo-Ewe peoples from the 1850s. In particular, it focuses on a corpus of cultic practices collectively known as 'Fofie', which derived their legitimacy from engaging with the memory of the slave-holding past.
