ABSTRACT
Chapter 6 discusses two predominant forms of Danish renegotiation in the ex-colonial contact zones; tourism as restaging the colonial and restoration. The first section focuses on Danish tourism in the US Virgin Islands, because of its massive scale, and because of its direct engagement with the islands’ Danish colonial history. The section also deals with tourist guidebooks and how they narrate the colonial and postcolonial contact zone – across the ex-colonies. The second section on restoration projects discusses the various Danish restoration efforts taking place across the tropical ex-colonies, but with particular focus on Ghana and Tharangambadi.
