Resistance and Hope in Balance
Despite substantial scholarship on resistance and the politics of hope, their interrelation remains insufficiently theorized. This article addresses this gap by advancing two arguments: first, that resistance and hope are conceptually and analytically complementary; and second, that hope, understood as a political orientation, is embedded in and enacted through everyday acts of resistance. Emphasizing the transformative potential of such action, …
Exploring Attempts at Judicial Resolution of the Nkonya-Alavanyo Communal Conflict in Ghana
While the literature on the Nkonya-Alavanyo conflict references litigation and its apparent ineffectiveness in resolving the conflict, there is a paucity of detail about this litigation. This paper contributes to a more holistic comprehension of the discourses structuring resolution attempts in this conflict, with lessons for the resolution of communal conflicts generally. Drawing on archival data, media reports, and field interviews, we examine …

In doing so, I explore, from the perspective of the Alavanyos, the reasons for the intractability of the Nkonya–Alavanyo conflict. Drawing on fieldwork interviews, phenomenologically generated in Alavanyo in 2019 and analyzed thematically, the study suggests that…
Two Maps, Two Tales and Two Truths

We connect Coser's theorization on social conflict and Lederach's conflict transformational ideas to, first, offer an alternative way of reconceptualizing conflict in ways that focus on harnessing the inherent potentialities of conflicts while changing the ne…
Behind the intractability of communal conflicts in Africa
In this article, I move away from the rather active and bloodier conflicts to which there exists significant academic literature to the rarely researched, less bloody and latent communal violence. Based on archival documents and in-depth semistructured interviews conducted in Ghana with analysis of transcript following a thematic approach, I examine from the perspective of the Nkonyas, the intractability of the Nkonya–Alavanyo conflict in Ghana, …
