by Richard Rathbone
Book Description The decades of independence in Ghana have strengthened the idea of a national Ghanaian culture. The culture and customs of Ghana today are a product of diversity in traditional forms, influenced by a long history of Islamic and European contact. Culture and Customs of Ghana is the first book to concisely provide an up-to-date narrative on the most significant elements of the established cultural life and institutions as well as the most recent changes in the cultural landscape. Written expressly for students and the general reader, it belongs in every library supporting multicultural and African studies curricula.Drink, Power, and Cultural Change: A Social History of Alcohol in Ghana, c. 1800 to Recent Times (Social History of Africa Series)

(Paperback)Ethnicity in Ghana : The Limits of Invention
by Carola Lentz (Editor), Paul Nugent (Editor)
These essays address the neglected theme of ethnicity in Ghanaian history, society, and politics. The essays qualify the notion that ethnicity was purely a colonial "invention" by demonstrating the ways in which the boundaries of "we-groups" have mutated from pre-colonial times onwards. The collection also considers the particular manner in which the national question is posed today in terms of language policy and conflicts over land and chieftaincy.

Book Description Events affecting the shape of modern Ghana can be dated back to the 14th and 15th centuries, when the "Guinea Coast" came into contact with various merchantile companies. By the mid-nineteenth century, the British had emerged as the dominant European power, creating the Gold Coast Colony in 1874. It took over forty years, however, to round out the modern boundaries of their colony. Thirty-seven years later Governor Charles Arden-Clarke turned over the reins of power to Kwame Nkrumah, whose...Kwame Nkrumah: The Father of African Nationalism

by Anthony Ephirim-Donkor
From the Back Cover In the West, the primacy of patrilineal succession is so deeply entrenched that the thought of supplanting that with matrilineal succession would bc unthinkable. But that is exactly the situation among the Guan community of Winneba, Ghana called the Effutu. Their ancient patrilineal system of succession is in contention with the matrilineal succession practiced by their populous Akan neighbors. In a larger context chieftaincy disputes, or better yet, kingship rivalry is endemic in Ghana, particularly among the Akan. Each year the government commits considerable resources to combat these rivalries that sometimes result in conflicts and inter-ethnic warfare. These conflicts may be caused by rivalry among the members of the same family vying for the kingship. Affluent non-royals or those with remote ties to royalty may buy their way to power. A tributary king, or the descendants of a family that was given a sanctuary by the king whose land their ancestors occupied may then contest the kingship. What this book does is examine the two competing systems and their political ramifications, and, ultimately, establish the rightful heirs to the stool of the lion (Gyata). While the book focuses on the Effutu, it is a classic example of Ghanaian royal politicking. It takes an in-depth religio-historical and political approach in examining the settlement of Winneba, and the establishment of the institutional frameworks for nation building. Infused with supernatural capabilities of the early settlers, the book brings to life the personal as well as the collective stories of the pioneers. Internal and external written sources are examined in relation to the factors that precipitated the polarization and strife among the Effutu. Finally, the book deals with the socio-political structure, religion and their cosmic significance, and occupational and economic practices of the Effutu.Economic Reforms in Ghana : The Miracle and the Mirage

The Ghanaian Revolution
by Joseph G Amamoo
Book Description: When in March, 1957, Ghana became the first African country in colonial Africa to achieve Independence, the event was enthusiastically welcomed by millions of Africans and liberal non-Africans. Many African people looked up to Ghana with hope, confidence and pride. These people hoped that the torch of freedom would be held aloft in their own countries also. That Ghana had among the highest per capita income in Africa and the best developed educational and health facilities were but some of the factors establishing Ghana's position of stature in Africa. The question then is, how it comes about that beginning with such historic political and economic achievements, the country deteriorated through a series of military coups that eventually led to the bloody revolution of June, 1979. Could the revolution have been avoided? What are the lessons that Ghana itself, and other African countries, can learn? The Ghanaian Revolution attempts, clearly and dispassionately, to answer these questions.
