Description
Ghana's North is a compilation on the region uniting fifteen interdisciplinary articles that provide case studies from the numerous ethnic groups. The central focus is on aspects of adaptation of Northern Ghanaian cultures in view of the rapid change of the natural and cultural environment. The topics range from economic developments, migration, conflicts and peace restoration, land rights, political controversies, religious phenomena, and cultural expression through narratives, music and language. An introductory chapter relates the history of research in Northern Ghana including a bibliography on the most important sources.
