This volume extends many of the distilled insights, but also modifies them in the light of the Ghanaian evidence. The collection is multidisciplinary in scope and spans the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial contexts. A central contention of the volume is that, while there were significant regional variations, ethnicity was not purely a colonial `invention‘. The boundaries of `we-groups‘ have constantly mutated from pre-colonial times, while European categorization owed much to indigenous ways of seeing. The contributors explore the role of European administrators and recruitment officers as well as African cultural brokers in shaping new identities. The interaction of gender and ethnic consciousness is explicitly addressed. The volume also examines the formulation of the national question in Ghana today - in debates over language policy and conflicts over land and chieftaincy. | | 出版日期 | Book 2000 | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-62337-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-349-62337-2 | | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 2000 |
