“…More generally, silence and invisibility have been treated in academic literature in the different disciplines as two sides of the same coin (e.g. Dimitrov 2015;Sparkes 1994;Simms 1986;Kim 1998;Coombs et al 2014). It has probably have to do with the fact that the two dimensions are associated with the politics of hiding (Jones et al 2016).…”

Bruno Catalano’s sculpture Voyageurs brilliantly catches an impalpable, yet pervasive, feature of refugees’ representation: their invisibility. This may seem an oxymoron but throughout my visual analysis, and while looking for what was represented in the images studied, I have been struck by what is not there. Susan Sontag has defined photography as “grammar and, even more importantly, an ethics of seeing!” (Sontag 1973, 1). If Sontag is right when she affirms that photography makes things represented worth being seen, we may be led to think that, on the contrary, what is not photographed is not worth seeing. On this arbitrary decision over presence and absence, visibility and invisibility, hinges a very important dimension of the power of photography.

“…More recently, scholars have begun to question this understanding of the process of othering and have shown, using evidence from other parts of the world, that it is possible for the powerless in such dyads to resist or construct alternative conceptions of themselves other than that provided by the powerful (Jensen 2011;Park 2012;Coombs et al, 2014). For example, Jensen ( 2011), writing about ethnic minorities in Denmark discusses two such forms of agency: capitalisation and refusal.…”

This paper seeks to interrogate the processes of othering that takes place in Ghana, acountry with a long history of migrants from the region now known as Nigeria. Thepaper draws on Spivak's (1985) concept of othering and explores both the ways inwhich Ghanaians othering of Nigerians is made manifest as well as the ways in whichNigerians respond to these processes of othering. Ultimately, I argue that until bothGhanaians and Nigerians recognize othering as a problem worthy of redress, the fullimport of the ECOWAS Protocol on Free Movement of Persons will be lost on thesetwo groups of West African citizens. For, while people can and do move across the 16borders of West Africa, they do not necessarily move freely. Migrants are oftenreminded of their status as the other even in a country where our founding fathersought to establish a strong sense of Pan African unity.
