Download or read book Changing Social Structure in Ghana written by Jack Goody and published by London : International African Institute. This book was released on 1975 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book presents the results of research into social change in Ghana. Each of the thirteen essays deals with some aspect of the changing situation, not necessarily today's change, but observed change that is relevant to what is happening today. It thus continues the interest of social scientists in the situation that lies before their eyes rather than in hypothetical reconstructions of societies that may have existed in pre-colonial times. This book adopts a different approach from what is often considered the main role of anthropology today, looking in detail at the problems of particular sub-groups and sectors in one single new nation, that of Ghana. These studies try to show that the field-worker with a wide comparative background in the range of pre-industrial societies has a positive role to play in contemporary social science. The study of new nations can provide a testing ground for theory and at the same time help to break down the barriers between disciplines."--Page 4 de la couverture.

Download or read book Akan Christology written by Charles Sarpong Aye-Addo and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-07-12 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christianity expands and grows in Africa, there is deep new interest in African theology in general, and the way in which some African theologians are interpreting the significance of Christ within African culture, in particular. This volume explores the Christology of two of the foremost African thinkers against the background of the West African Akan culture. The result is a rare and fascinating look at some of the key cultural symbols of African culture, the struggle to reinterpret the "white, blond, blue-eyed Christ" presented by pioneering missionaries to Africa, and the pitfalls and promises that attend the exercise. The selected theologians, John Samuel Pobee and Kwame Bediako, are put into a critical conversation with Karl Barth in order to initiate a dialogue between Western theology and African theology that brings to the fore some of the pertinent issues about the particularity and universality of Christ. The volume, while seeking to make Christ relevant for Africa, moves away from romanticizing African culture and insists on being faithful to the biblical witness to Christ. The result is an attempt to present an engaging piece of work that makes a significant contribution to contemporary debates on Christology and indigenous theology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive, systematic account of human development which is sensitive to the needs, interests and ecologies of nonwestern cultures and individuals is provided in this unique volume. The importance and value of the sociocultural milieu in shaping the growth and development of children is emphasized, and the author asserts throughout that children do not grow and develop according to the same patterns regardless of culture. The author describes developmental psychology from the perspective of West Africa, demonstrating how the local ecology and the resulting cultural ideology lead to differing ways in which children are conceptualized and socialized, and in turn how they develop. While much of his case material is from

Download or read book Development and Women s Reproductive Health in Ghana 1920 1982 written by Holly Ashford and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the history of women’s reproductive health in Ghana, arguing that between the 1920s and 1980s, it was largely driven by discourses of development and population control rather than a concern for women’s health or rights. Between the 1920s and 1980s, the choices that Ghanaian women made regarding their reproductive health were defined by development policy and practice. Spanning the colonial and immediate postcolonial periods, this book demonstrates that whilst the substance of development discourse shifted over time, principles of development continued to be used to impact and legitimise reproductive health policy and practices well after independence. The book explores Ghana’s pluralist health system, the introduction of maternal and child welfare, the dominance of the Red Cross in Ghana’s maternal and child health landscape, nationalist pronatalism and global population activism. In order to understand how global iterations of development and health policy impacted ordinary lives in Ghana, the author uses evidence from multiple ‘levels,’ including private papers, national archives and records of international and transnational organisations. Providing balanced archival perspectives, the book includes extensive oral history interviews carried out with both rural Ghanaian women and traditional birth attendants, as well as with midwives, doctors and family planning fieldworkers. This book will have an important impact on a number of historical fields including Ghanaian history, global health history, global histories of population and family planning and histories of development. It will be of interest to researchers and students in the history of public health, development, Africa, Ghana and gender.
