Polyphony, instrumentality and the urban experience for migrants in Accra, Ghana
Migrant subjects both seek and resist inclusion as they navigate host areas. In this process, language becomes vital in forming and maintaining boundaries and social networks, which are important factors in dealing with urban conditions, as well as a common point for (re)creating multiple and hybridised identities. This paper employs the ideas of polyphony, hybridity and people as infrastructure as conceptual and theoretical frameworks to analyse…
Associations do not survive here
Collective action through farmer-based organisations (FBOs) could potentially improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers by opening up access to credit and inputs, overcoming market constraints, and reducing transaction costs. However, in the absence of strong or well-functioning farmer associations, the cost of market participation is likely to exacerbate economic hardships and inequalities among smallholders. Based on qualitative data from …
A genealogy of silencing
There is an internationally accepted discourse on ‘Female Genital Mutilation’ which understands it as a human rights violation, a major health concern, and an extreme form of gendered violence. Since the 1980s, African women, postcolonial feminists and anthropologists have critiqued this discourse as ethnocentric and racist. We examine the genealogy of the hegemonic anti-FGM discourse, identify alternative perspectives and analyse the extent to w…
Effects of Covid-19 on coastal livelihoods in the central region of Ghana
The COVID-19 outbreak effects and related state responses, especially mobility restriction interventions, contributed to disruption in livelihoods in the coastal communities in Ghana. This paper uses an ethnographic approach to analyse the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and coping strategies adopted by small-scale fishers, fish traders and processors. We argued that focusing solely on the livelihoods of formal sector workers is problematic beca…
‘We are Each Other’s Keeper’
Visitors’ Experiences and Reactions to a Dark Heritage Site
This study investigates how different visitors experienced a dark heritage site (Cape Coast Slave Castle). Two main groups of people studied are those with historic links to the site and those without. Those with historic links include descendants of victims of the slave trade, people from countries, which participated in that dark heritage, and those whose ancestors may have collaborated. This study of 3,452 comments using directed content analy…
