Middle Class African Marriage
In the 1970s among peoples of the third world migration, paid employment, and urban living had caused changes in domestic economies, in decision making in households, and in the sexual division of labour and power. This was particularly so in areas formerly subjected to colonial domination and therefore the influence of European mores and institutions. This book, previously published in 1974 as Marriage Among a Matrilineal Elite, this edition in …
Female and Male in West Africa
Familial Roles and Social Transformations
By focusing on old people in sub-Saharan Africa, the author illustrates the need for comparative analyses of how culture, sociopolitical systems, and sweeping social change shape lives, interconnections, opportunities, and constraints among older people. In such work, gender contrasts are critical. Because of their position in reproduction and marital patterns, women in sub-Saharan Africa have tended to use lineal strategies, focused on children …

Marriage among a Matrilineal Elite
A Note from Ghana on Chains of Change in Family Systems and Family Size
In this paper a series of hypotheses linking urban residence and education with changes taking place in norms regarding family size are operationalized and their validity is demonstrated using data from 393 single, male Ghanaian students. The independent variables used are urban/rural residence and generation educated. The intervening variables which are conceptualized and measured in terms of ordinal scales are: approval of closure, functional i…
An Exploratory Note on Financial Constraints and Desired Family Size
RÉSUMÉD'après les données d'un échantillonnage analytique échelonné sur deux générations d'employés de bureau mâles travaillant à Accra, l'auteur examine trois hypothèses sur les corrélations potentielles entre la mobilité sociale et physique et l'attitude face aux restrictions financières et à la grandeur des familles. Les résultats montrent la nécessité d'explorer plus profondément, dans un plus grand nombre d'exemples, les corrélations entre c…
A Note on Attitudes to Jointness of the Conjugal Role Relationship and Family Size
In this paper data from a sample of Ghanaian University students is used to test the cross-cultural validity of the hypothesis that jointness of the conjugal role relationship is associated with small family size norms and segregation with large family size norms (Hawthorn, 1971: 94). Approval of jointness and segregation is measured by means of an ordinal scale based upon responses to eight different statements about the division of labour, deci…
Marriage in a Matrilineal Elite
Woman Power

And by the foolish they refer to the type of woman who depends solely on her husband for subsistence....

Conjugal Power and Resources
Survey data on which this report is based were collected from a sample of 180 married men, employed as senior civil servants, in government institutions in Accra during 1967-68. Following the findings of Blood and Wolfe (1960) and subsequent writers, there were found to be statistically significant differences in lmodes of decision-making reported, according to the relative ages, educational levels and occupations of the spouses. A syncratic powe…
