Oburoni outside the Whale: Reflections on an Experience in Ghana

Pages 410-429 | Published online: 12 Jul 2012
 

Abstract

In this essay, the author, a social studies teacher educator, reflects on what she learned during a six-month Fulbright experience in Ghana. As an oburoni, or a white person, outside the whale, or the United States, she read and listened to specifically Ghanaian perspectives of history, economics, women's issues, and culture and was reminded both of the power of the dominating, western cultural and economic imperialism and the value of contrapuntal thinking.
