Abstract This study investigates how different visitors experienced a dark heritage site (Cape Coast Slave Castle). Two main groups of people studied are those with historic links to the site and those without. Those with historic links include descendants of victims of the slave trade, people from countries, which participated in that dark heritage, and those whose ancestors may have collaborated. This study of 3,452 comments using directed content analysis found that recognition of the darkness of the heritage is universal, but experiences of the darkness are diverse. The different experiences highlight the complexity of reactions to, as well as contested meanings of, slavery and its enduring effects. The study also shows that the sense of "ownership" of the site is not defined by citizenship in the country of its location. One implication of this is that Cape Coast Slave Castle curators have a responsibility that goes beyond Ghana’s borders.

游客对黑暗遗产地的体验和反应:海岸角城堡案例(2010-2015)
摘要 本研究调查了不同的游客如何体验黑暗的遗产遗址(海岸角奴隶城堡)。研究的主要两类人群是与该遗址有历史联系的人和没有历史联系的人。那些具有历史联系的人包括奴隶贸易受害者的后代、来自参与这种黑暗遗产的国家的人,以及那些祖先可能合作过的人。这项使用定向内容分析对 3,452 条评论的研究发现,对遗产黑暗的认识是普遍的,但对黑暗的体验却是多种多样的。不同的经历突出了对奴隶制及其持久影响的反应的复杂性和有争议的意义。该研究还表明,该网站的“所有权”意识不是由其所在国家的公民身份定义的。
