Social protest and the middle class in Ghana
This article examines the connection between middle class and social protest by three Ghanaian cases: A protest in the 1890s organised by members of the middle class laid the foundation for political action, which finally led to Ghana’s independence. In 1978, members of the middle class protested a model called Union Government by which the then military head of state Acheampong sought to perpetuate the military into government. In 2014, activist…
Across regional disparities and beyond family ties
Despite its fuzziness, the term middle class has become increasingly attractive in the past two decades, not only among social scientists and market analysts but also as a term of self-description employed by upwardly mobile individuals. Research on middle classes in the Global South, and especially in Africa, confronts us with particular challenges. First, while conventional class theories take the nation-state as the obvious framework for defin…
Occupy Ghana. Widerstand von unten oder ein Sit-in des 1
Ausgelöst durch Energieengpässe, entstanden in Ghana 2014 mehrere neue Protestgruppen, unter ihnen Occupy Ghana. Die Aktivist*innen von Occupy Ghana prangerten nicht eine neoliberale Wirtschaftskrise an, sondern eine Krise der Demokratie, des öffentlichen Lebens und der Ethik. Mit ihren Aktionen brachten sie ihre Frustration und ihre Wut über die Regierung zum Ausdruck. Kritiker aus der Regierungspartei hielten Occupy Ghana für Aktivist*innen der…
Tod und Druckerschwärze. Begräbnisbroschüren als Erinnerungsorte der ghanaischen Mittelklasse
Im südlichen Ghana sind Begräbnisbroschüren in den letzten vierzig Jahren zu einem wichtigen Bestandteil christlicher Beerdigungen geworden und erfreuen sich einer weiterhin wachsenden Beliebtheit. Begräbnisbroschüren sind Schriftdokumente, die während kirchlicher Gottesdienste an die Trauergäste von Beerdigungen ausgeteilt werden. Sie enthalten immer einen Ablaufplan für die Beerdigungsriten, die Lieder, die während des Trauergottesdienstes gesu…
Family Foundations for Solidarity and Social Mobility
In Ghana, members of the middle class have recently started establishing family associations and foundations to support upward social mobility and to help secure middle-class status for family members of lower social status or non-related Ghanaians. Such family foundations and associations are usually established by family members, who see themselves as social reformers and feel that their own social status has been attained through talent and th…
