This panel examines how Ghanaians have imagined, navigated, and reshaped the wider world across two+ centuries, using worlding as an analytic to foreground how global visions are generated from particular West African places. We note that Ghanaian worlding’s are often left out of the global ‘world history’ picture, as are many others. Jennifer Hart’s presentation explores Accra as a site where imperial planners, development agencies, and diasporic cultural currents projected competing global ideals—from “model colony” to “capital of cool”—and shows how residents fashioned urban lives that engaged, contested, and reworked these shifting imaginaries. Trevor Getz’s analysis turns to late-nineteenth-century Cape Coast, where Anglophone communities avidly debated global politics, science, religion, and culture. Drawing on AI-assisted analysis of Gold Coast newspapers, it reveals a richly textured public sphere in which Gold Coasters interpreted events from Liverpool to India to the Americas, crafting their own sense of the world and their place within it. Finally, Tony Yeboah examines Kumase’s courtyard architecture as a material expression of transnational life. It traces how colonial interventions and later the remittance-funded building practices of Asante burgers reshaped domestic space and social relationships, producing built forms that make visible the region’s evolving weltanschauung. Together, these papers illuminate the diverse ways Ghanaians have worlded the world.
