The postcolonial world as a cargo globe: Ideas of inequality in early Ghanaian fiction, 1968-1977
Reconstructing the thinking on inequality of Ghanaian writers-cum-intellectuals Ama Ata Aidoo and Ayi Kwei Armah, this article contributes to the burgeoning research on inequality in literature and to global and African intellectual history. While both authors have mainly been studied by literary scholars, little work has been done to focus explicitly on their ideas about global inequality. This article investigates how ideas of inequality and co…
Talking About Global Inequality: Personal Experiences and Historical Perspectives
Reimagining African womanhood in an unjust world order: Exploring the writings of Ghanaian women's rights advocates, 1970s-1980s
This article provides the first systematic exploration of the ideas on inequality of the two Ghanaian women's rights advocates Annie Jiagge and Florence Dolphyne, who were both part of the Ghanaian National Council on Women and Development during the 1970s and 1980s. Zooming in on their work and writings during this time, I challenge the view offered by some scholars that these decades were 'apolitical' and shaped by 'quiet activism' with regard …
The Janus-face of interdependence: A transnational intellectual history of global inequality in the US and Ghana, c. 1975–1985
Writing ‘global’ intellectual histories involves historicising the transnational lives of key concepts. In this article, we argue that interdependence became a key concept in global inequality debates of the 1970–1980s. While ideas about interstate dependency have a long history, interdependence saw a remarkable breakthrough from the late 1960s onwards, partly in tandem with a liberal global egalitarianism, calling for the moral duties of ‘rich n…
Towards a Global Intellectual History of an Unequal World
How have intellectuals from around the world thought about inequality in the world? In light of the call for a less Eurocentric history of ideas as well as recent debates about global inequality, this article introduces a special issue on the global intellectual history of an unequal world. The issue supplements the already available scholarship in at least four ways: it delves further into other kinds of inequalities than first and foremost econ…
(Black) neo-colonialism and rootless African elites: Tracing conceptions of global inequality in the writings of George Ayittey and Kwesi Kwaa Prah, 1980s–1990s
The article examines two Ghanaian-born intellectuals – economist George Ayittey and anthropologist and sociologist Kwesi Kwaa Prah – and their positions on both local and global inequalities by studying their writings from the mid-1980s–1990s. It answers the questions of how and through which debates both intellectuals addressed and engaged with notions of global inequality. Methodologically anchored in global intellectual history, this article o…
