Description

Book Synopsis
Old Dutch slave fortresses in Elmina were restored and alongside the restoration some sustainable developments took place: the set up of a tourist office in Elmina in one of the buildings, plus an employment project in order to keep the buildings well maintained. This meant an increase in tourism, a revival of traditional culture and skills, an increasing demand for local products and thus improved living conditions. Highly illustrated with beautiful pictures by Nana Kofi Acqua. Published in co-operation with Urban Solutions, Rotterdam with support by the European Commission.
