ABSTRACT

This chapter uses two text formats to distinguish between two levels of writing. The first, in italic type, designates my description of a tour through Cape Coast Castle. The second text format, in roman type, comprises further background information as well as my analysis. By this approach it attempts to grasp the close entanglement of form and meaning at the castle. The white limemixture was much cheaper than a fungicide and for that matter preferred by Ghanaian conservationists. The international representative of the Nation of Islam in Ghana, Hon. Minister Abdul Akbar Muhammad, regularly brought in visitors through his company, Adventures in Africa Tours and Safaris. The Ministry of Tourism and other Ghanaian institutions wanted to avoid any open confrontation. This concern partly derived from a fear of losing European touristssince they were the main subjects of verbal attack from Black visitors.
