Following on from the poetic responses to the spatial rise and fall of Cecil Rhodes in Southern Africa discussed in the Introduction, this Conclusion invokes a similar debate involving Edward Colston, Bristol’s most famous merchant and slave trader, as articulated in Vanessa Kisuule’s poem “Hollow,” to illustrate the ongoingness and global reach of the contestation of memory sites, and the role that literature and the arts are called to play in these processes. After rounding off the central concept of ‘space in transit,’ the chapter opens up a space where the different contributing authors condense their arguments and offer further lines of enquiry.

摘要

Following on from the poetic responses to the spatial rise and fall of Cecil Rhodes in Southern Africa discussed in the Introduction, this Conclusion invokes a similar debate involving Edward Colston, Bristol’s most famous merchant and slave trader, as articulated in Vanessa Kisuule’s poem “Hollow,” to illustrate the ongoingness and global reach of the contestation of memory sites, and the role that literature and the arts are called to play in these processes. After rounding off the central concept of ‘space in transit,’ the chapter opens up a space where the different contributing authors condense their arguments and offer further lines of enquiry.
