Transformations in Beliefs and Practices of Ecological Inviolability
Sacred forests, also known as ethnoforests or forest groves, in Africa are a part of the construction of the cosmology of Africans and their effort to seek ecological harmony and biodiversity equilibrium. In sum, sacred forests are sites of deities and ancestors; ritual discourse and genealogical affirmations; and superstructures of social formations, ontology and eschatology. Much of what we know about sacred forests in Ghana and their significa…

Covering the period c.1870 to the 1960s, the chapter draws on examples from various colonized African states and societies. It shows that the attritions of colonial rule (such as wars of conquest and African resistance; and the political economy of colonial rule, including conscription, forced labor, taxation, and brutalization of Africans) triggered migrations in the …

This study deals with the history of two remarkable women whose respective activism impacted colonial rule and gold mining in Wassa Fiase in the Gold Coast (modern Ghana) during the last three decades of the nineteenth century.

Apart from a brief review of women's activism an…

African agency and cultural initiatives in the British Imperial military and labor recruitment drives in the Gold Coast (colonial Ghana) during the First World War
During the First World War, the Gold Coast colonial government engaged in military and labor recruitment drives in support of the British Imperial war effort. The colonial government was responsible for the policy of recruitment, the African intelligentsia championed the recruitment efforts in the form of recruiting campaigns, and the chiefs were directly responsible for the recruitment of their subjects. Overall, the subject of military and labo…
We Shall Rejoice to see the Day When Slavery shall Cease to Exist”
The articulation of antislavery among Africans remains to be studied. Overall, the staple of animated questions, debates, and conclusions of the vast literature on abolition of slavery in the last two decades or so has neglected African contributions of ideologies of antislavery to the global abolition epoch in the Atlantic world. Charting a new trajectory for the study of abolition in Africa, as well as the global abolition epoch, this study exa…
Aspects of Elite Women's Activism in the Gold Coast, 1874-1890
A spate of studies gendered Ghanaian historiography and mainstreamed women's history in recent years. The emerging corpus of literature encapsulates both precolonial and colonial themes, including marriage, family, and kinship; ideology, religion, and rites of passage; social change and the diffusion of innovation; and economic transformation and political evolution.1 Enriching our understanding of women's struggles, advocacy, and achievements, t…
After Slavery
To Wassa Fiase for Gold
In a recent book, El Dorado in West Africa , Raymond E. Dumett examines the history of gold-mining in Wassa Fiase in the Western Province of the Gold Coast during the last three decades of the nineteenth century. Among other thematic preoccupations, Dumett argues that until the late 1890s the British colonial authorities did very little to encourage capitalist gold-mining in Wassa Fiase. Resurrecting the ghost of local crisis, he argues that the …

A Smattering of Education” and Petitions as Sources
By the mid-nineteenth century African societies had begun to use petitions as an instrument of agitation for reforms in nascent colonial policies. This was especially true of those societies located in the coastal enclaves where precolonial European and diasporic African influences were markedly profound. Compared with other African responses to European colonial rule, anti-colonial petitions are less spectacular. This explains, perhaps-deserving…
