- Summary:
- "This reader stems from the accumulation of four years of research, beginning as a critical theoretical project, which then morphed into an exhibition, and now sits somewhere between (and yet is in excess of) the two. Whether realised in its written or gallery-bound formats, Living with Ghosts explores the ways the unresolved traumas of Africa's colonial past and its incomplete project of decolonisation continue to haunt the global present."--Introduction.
