Abstract
The literal meaning of Akwaaba is you left to come back. This term is used by Ghanians to welcom visitors in their house. Ganianns think of the Netherlands as being a wealthy and prosperous paradise. These two cultures are represented by using the word Akwaaba in combination with a picture of the Bijlmerflats (known as dutch ghetto inhabited by many Ghanians). Ghanians living in these flats seem to have exchanged nature for concrete.
