Recenzii
Ghana is a consequential, compelling, and sobering account of Ghana from the 1800s to the present. Bringing to bear a host of voices, and wide-ranging sources and archives, Ghana tells us that false dawns and promises have constantly marred the journey toward postcolonial economic and political African independence. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the state of postcolonial Ghana and Africa today and anyone interested in how Africans have grappled with individual and collective sovereignty in the face of colonial, military, and democratic governments.
This ambitious book provides a superb introduction to the history of Ghana since the nineteenth century by looking at the changing meanings of a "Gold Coaster" under colonial rule and of "Ghanaian" within an emerging nation-state. Attentive to the coexistence of multiple political and social identities, transnational connections, and economic conditions, this book is a tour de force - yet always clearly argued and accessible. It's a joy to read!
This penetrating study, rooted in an array of scholarly and primary sources, examines Ghana's recent past through the lens of networks of self-identification and belonging that extend beyond the conventional nation-state. Emphasizing African agency in these political, economic, social, and cultural networks, Ahlman's study offers a critical new perspective that challenges Eurocentric models and periodization. It is highly recommended for scholars, students, and the general public.
