Symposium on Carola Lentz & Isidore Lobnibe’s Imagining Futures
In this book symposium on Carola Lentz and Isidore Lobnibe’s Imagining Futures: Memory and Belonging in an African Family (Indiana University Press, 2022), the authors engage with nine distinguished Africanist colleagues. The symposium addresses, among other themes, the book’s theme of family memory as an innovative approach to African history and the opportunities and challenges of collaborative research and writing. The symposium is organized w…
Field sites, infrastructures of scientific experiments and knowledge production in colonial Ghana, 1900–1950
This paper examines scientific research and experiments conducted in colonial Ghana. Science, characterized by investigations to unearth unknowns or provide a better understanding of the known, was central to the European enterprise in Africa in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This essay explores the evolution of the scientific enterprise in colonial Ghana. The history of scientific infrastructures and experimental science remains underde…
State incapacitation for partisan political interest
Ghana's 2024 Elections
Since Ghana's return to democratic rule in 1992, the West African country has recurrently been heralded as the model for democracy in Africa. Despite multiple controversies challenging core democratic institutions, Ghana's 2024 elections again represent a strong indicator of the country's democratic resilience. Combining our multi-disciplinary perspectives, we identify the key concerns that preoccupied Ghanaian voters in the lead-up to election d…
The Women Factor in Gendered Student Activism in Ghana from Independence to the Present
The essentiality of student activism in Ghana is revealed through the role students played in ensuring political stability, economic accountability, and human rights preservation. Scholarly debates are either silent on the gendered nature of student activism or treat women student activists as insignificant participants. Student activism is typically construed around illustrious men and important men-centered events. Men’s voices dominated due to…
Urban History in Kumase, Ghana
This note seeks to bring awareness to the wide variety of archival documents available for research in urban history in Kumase, Ghana’s second city and capital of the historic Asante Kingdom. We draw mainly on our experiences researching the history of Jackson Park, one of colonial Kumase’s earliest public parks
Learned Societies, Knowledge Production, and Public Engagement in Colonial and Postcolonial Ghana, 1930–90
This paper constructs the intellectual histories of learned societies in Ghana to illuminate African agency in pursuing knowledge production and dissemination. Academics and politicians founded some of Africa’s first scientific societies in Ghana. Previous scholarship on scientific research and higher education in Africa has overlooked the role of disciplines-based learned societies and national academies. This paper contributes to that literatur…
Students' and Governments' Entanglements in Ghana's Political Transition
Students' relations with postindependence Ghanaian military regimes have generally been portrayed as positive, yet comparative analysis of the relational dynamics across regime types-military and civilian-is inadequate. This article addresses this knowledge gap using a historical content analytic approach based on original archival and interview data. We argue that strategic and group interests ambiguously influenced students' entanglement with m…
The case of electoral polling station data for geocoding in facilitating accessibility to social, economic and cultural opportunities in Ghana
It is widely acknowledged that geographic data in Ghana and most of Sub-Sahara Africa is patchy, and lack geographic coverage and detail. This has implications for mobility and access to socioeconomic, and cultural opportunities which require address and location data typically provided through geocoding. A critical component of geocoding is a reference database to lookup matching address and location information. Accordingly, we investigate the …
The social embeddedness of elections
Campaign rallies serve as arenas of political communication where candidates present their campaign messages face-to-face in order to gain votes. This article suggests that rallies are one of several forms of campaign visits along with official business stops, courtesy calls to local notables, and personal interactions with constituents. Drawing on an original dataset of campaign visits in Ghana's 2016 and 2020 elections, we find that a significa…
Modernizing Royals and Capitalists of Kumase
British imperialism bequeathed sports to former colonies. In the immediate postwar period, colonial bureaucrats intensified the modernization agenda in many of their colonial territories. The institution of horse racing was associated with the upper echelons of society in many colonies. In colonial Asante, the royals and capitalists of Kumase established the Ashanti Turf Club as the first public limited liability company in the history of horse r…
Unregulated religious spaces in public universities in Ghana
Why do young Muslim students who live in a relatively peaceful and pluralistic society like Ghana embrace extremist ideologies? This paper examines the radicalisation of young Muslims in Ghanaian universities. It analyses the different structural and managerial models adopted by three of the oldest public universities to govern students’ religious activities on campus. We draw on data from several sources to argue that the weaknesses of the manag…
Introduction
This article ties the main issues raised in research notes that have been published by African Affairs. Research notes are dedicated to discussions of issues that arise in producing knowledge on Africa. These notes, drawn from rich experiences, tackle the above and other questions from various angles. The arguments and proposals presented are crucial for understanding the mutability of approaches and also raise important questions about how to su…
The Generation of Trust in Political Parties in Ghana
The level of political trust in a country is an important factor for the survival of its political system. Many democratic states have experienced declines in political trust. In Ghana, lack of trust in opposition parties and many public institutions is widespread. Ghanaians trust religious organizations and traditional authorities more than political parties and state institutions; it is, however, political parties that govern and implement publ…
Political transitions and commissions of inquiry
What role does a commission of inquiry (COI) play in delivering accountability? In theory, when the public delegates power to political leaders to formulate and implement policies, they seek political accountability in return. Using Ghana as a case study, this study examines how the operations of COIs may deliver accountability. Principal–agent theories of accountability and African conceptions of legitimacy are incomplete on their own and need t…
We run for the crumbs and not for office’
The staying power of the Nkrumahist minor parties in an institutionalised two-party system is the specific puzzle that underlies this paper. It argues that post-election opportunities for party patronage remain important despite the persistently unsuccessful electoral strategies of the Nkrumahist minor. In national elections minor parties’ salience has declined. Nevertheless, the competitiveness of elections sometimes calls for the support of a t…
The Economic Potentials of Northern Ghana
The colonial history of neglect frames the development narrative of northern Ghana. Postcolonial critics emphasized the conscious neglect by the British imperial power and to some extent the post-colonial state. This paper seeks to deconstruct the narratives of the “blame-game,” by highlighting the economic potentials of the region, the contradictory policy positions of the colonial state and the ambivalence of post-colonial state. We argue that …
Place and party organizations
Socio-environmental conditions influence party organizations and political behaviour in the different ecological zones of Africa. Party-branded sheds serve as a lens for understanding electoral politics in Ghana. Sheds are local spaces of political contestation and forums of political representation. They connect party and community symbolically by demonstrating the different ways the party will represent the people. The framework of the politics…
Democratic Ruptures and Electoral Outcomes in Africa
Repetitive elections are important benchmarks for assessing the maturity of Africa's electoral democracies. Yet the processes through which elections entrench a democratic culture remain understudied. We introduce an important mechanism called a democratic rupture: an infraction in the democratisation process during competitive elections that has the potential to cause a constitutional crisis. It provides a new avenue of citizen participation out…
Democratic decentralization and disempowerment of traditional authorities under Ghana’s local governance and development system
In this paper, we argue that democratic decentralization defined as the transfer of power and resources from central government to lower units of government to deliver downwardly accountable and responsive local representation does not entirely produce stronger local institutions for mass participation, good local governance and community development. This is supported with selected cases from Ghana to demonstrate how in the name of decentralizat…
The construction of citizenship and the public provision of electricity during the 2014 World Cup in Ghana
Why did the Ghanaian state go to such extraordinary lengths to facilitate the reliable broadcast of the World Cup in 2014? During a period of frequent power outages, Ghana swapped power with regional neighbours and directed major domestic industries to reduce production in order to allow Ghanaians to watch their national soccer team compete in the World Cup. This paper investigates the politics of the public service provision of electricity in Gh…
Political party activism in Ghana
This article analyses the factors that influence some Ghanaians to join a political party and become active in the party. It seeks to illuminate the multi-dimensionality of the motivational basis of party activism in Ghana by exploring the following problematics: Why join the National Democratic Congress (NDC)/New Patriotic Party (NPP)? and Why be active in the NDC and NPP? Based on interviews, it argues that some Ghanaians signed up for the memb…
Party factions and power blocs in Ghana
Competition for the executive leadership of a political party and the distribution of state patronage in Ghana is influenced by factional alignments and group interests. In December 2008 the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regained political power, and within months rifts appeared over the allocation of ministerial portfolios. The intra-party murmurings became public when two factions supported rival candidacies for the party's presidential no…
In Search of 'Honorable' Membership
With the increasing consolidation of her democracy, Ghana has, once again, become a cause for celebration and a source of pride in Africa. This newfound status as the bellwether state of African democracy makes Ghana ripe for a critical analysis of her democratic institutions. This article places the handling of parliamentary primaries by the two leading political parties in Ghana - the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Par…
Te Nyɔgeyɛng Gbengbeng!' ('We Are Holding the Umbrella Very Tight)
This article analyses the reasons why, since the beginning of the Fourth Republic in 1992, the Upper West Region (UWR) has become one of the strongholds of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in northern Ghana. In all five general elections to date, the NDC has won more than half of the presidential vote and over 70 per cent of the parliamentary seats. The article explores the factors that explain the NDC's electoral dominance in the UWR. At t…

Chieftaincy, Diaspora, and Development
This article is about the institution of the Nksuohene/hemaa and how it relates to African Americans. The Nksuo stool was created in 1985 by the late Asantehene, Otumfuo Opoku Ware II, as a catalyst for development in Kumase and beyond. Since the 1990s, hundreds of African Americans and some white Westerners have been honoured with various royal titles. Do African Americans understand the Akan conception of slavery and a person of slave origins? …
