Author: Margaret G. W. Hardiman Publisher: Ghana University Press ISBN: Category : Business & Economics Languages : en Pages : 260
Book Description
This book provides an overview of life in rural Ghana, of the impact of social and economic change on rural communities, and of the increasing wealth-gap between the urban and the rural areas. It further documents a case study, which ran over a period of twenty-eight years, and examines the history and origins of the people of Konkonuru, a village in the Akwapim Hills. It shows this village has had many contacts with the outside world but also remains self-contained in many respects. It considers the impact of early missionaries on the community's traditional institutions; the impact of migration, and modernisation; the changing nature of traditional values, and how to best develop agricultural systems and infrastructure. The author was formerly a senior lecturer at the London School of Economics, and University of Ghana.

Book Description
From Afua Hirsch - co-presenter of Samuel L. Jackson's major BBC TV series Enslaved - the Sunday Times bestseller that reveals the uncomfortable truth about race and identity in Britain today. You're British. Your parents are British. Your partner, your children and most of your friends are British. So why do people keep asking where you're from? We are a nation in denial about our imperial past and the racism that plagues our present. Brit(ish) is Afua Hirsch's personal and provocative exploration of how this came to be - and an urgent call for change. 'The book for our divided and dangerous times' David Olusoga
