Process Not State, Becoming Not Being

Abstract

The discussions in the preceding three chapters provide us with the distinct notion that the built environment in Accra is indeed a text transforming Asante women’s household configurations, sociocultural practices, and sense of place. In other words, the research intention to understand the place that a migrant Asante woman’s home in Accra has in her Critical Spatial Literacy has led us full circle through a wealth of information on Asante women’s ideologies and critical conceptualizations of their movement through space and the reasons for those movements,¹ right back to the house as a symbolic manifestation of that larger seething mass of dynamic, fluid reality called Asante spatiality.
