Slavery, Memory, and Religion in Southeastern
Ghana, c. 1850-Present
Based on a decade of fieldwork in southeastern Ghana and analysis of
secondary sources* this book aims to reconstruct the religious history
of the Anlo-Ewe peoples from the 1850s. In particular, it focuses on a
corpus of rituals collectively known as ‘Fofie’, which derived their legit-
imacy from engaging with the memory of the slave-holding past. The
Anlo developed a sense of discomfort about their agency in slavery in the
early twentieth century, which they articulated through practices such
as ancestor veneration and spirit possession* and by forging links with
descendants of peoples they formerly enslaved. Conversion to Chris-
tianity* engagement with ‘modernity’* trans-Atlantic conversations with
diasporan Africans* and citizenship of the post-colonial state coupled
with structural changes within the religious system - which resulted in
the decline in Fofie’s popularity - gradually altered the moral emphases
on legacies of slavery in the Anlo historical imagination as the twentieth
century progressed.
Meera Venkatachalam holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from the
School of Oriental and African Studies* University of London (2007).
She has conducted post-doctoral work at the Centre of African Studies*
University of Edinburgh. Her writing has appeared in Africa (journal of
the International African Institute) and Journal of African History.
