Download or read book Ghana 50 Year of Independence written by Joseph Godson Amamoo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-12-16 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive review of major political events in Ghana, with critical comments, during the past 50 years. The book takes off where its predecessor The New Ghana, the international best seller published in 1958, Ghana’s first independence anniversary, ended. Absorbing, balanced and detailed, it is nevertheless controversial and challenging. Unique for its vignettes on all the major personalities of the five decades that the author has been privileged to interact with. The book challenges certain myths about the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The slow rate of development in Ghana in particular and Africa in general: the reasons why Ghana, despite its vast natural and mineral resources, is still a developing country. Traditions and customs which negate the rapid development of Ghana and robustly reviewed. What killed Nkrumah? Was Nkrumah anti-white? These are only a few of the interesting questions that the book attempts to answer. The book, which is unique in many ways, ends on a note of hope and expectation – that the next 5 years would be better than the last half century. Only time can tell.
Download or read book The Representation of Ruling and Opposition Parties in State owned Newspapers in Contemporary Ghana written by Eric Kwadwo Amissah and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written basically to analyse a typical phenomenon concerning the media/politics nexus in contemporary Ghana by exploring how the processes of Othering are linguistically embedded in the political discourses of the state-owned Ghanaian newspaper, the Daily Graphic, when representing the relation between the ruling and opposition parties in Ghana since 1992. Secondly, the aim of this book is to demonstrate how Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) can be applied (or broadened) to alternative settings – here, alternative settings refer to contexts in which a conflict is not the topic of the discourse – and finally, to demonstrate that the scope of CDA can be broadened to include alternative settings.
Download or read book Beyond the Political Spider written by Kwesi Yankah and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Political Spider: Critical Issues in African Humanities by Kwesi Yankah is the first title in the newly established African Humanities Association (AHA) publication series. By integrating his own biography into a critique of the global politics of knowledge production, Yankah, through a collection of essays, interrogates critical issues confronting the Humanities that spawn intellectual hegemonies and muffle African voices. Using the example of Ghana, he brings under scrutiny, amongst others, endemic issues of academic freedom, gender inequities, the unequal global academic order, and linguistic imperialism in language policies in governance. In the face of these challenges, the author deftly navigates the complex terrain of indigenous knowledge and language in the context of democratic politics, demonstrating that agency can be liberatory when emphasising indigenous knowledge, especially expressed through the idiom of local languages and symbols, including Ananse, the protean spider, folk hero in Ghana and most parts of the pan-African world.

Download or read book Tourism and Memories of Home written by Sabine Marschall and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates ‘home’ and ‘homeland’ as destinations of touristic journeys and adds to recent scholarly interest in the intersection between tourism and migration. It covers the temporary visits and journeys in search of home and homelands by migrants, displaced people, exiles and diasporic communities in a wide range of different geographical and historical contexts. Personal and collective forms of memory are shown to play a key role in the motivation for, and experience of, such journeys. The volume contributes to the investigation of the tourism–memory nexus as it conceptualizes memory as underpinning touristic mobility, experience and performativity. Based on ethnographic case studies and other types of qualitative empirical research, the chapters of this book foreground individual touristic experiences, emotions, memories, perceptions, the search for identity and a sense of belonging. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of tourism, heritage, anthropology, identity studies, memory studies and migration/diaspora studies.

Download or read book Travel and Representation written by Garth Lean and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-07-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel and Representation is a timely volume of essays that explores and re-examines the various convergences between literature, art, photography, television, cinema and travel. The essays do so in a way that appreciates the entanglement of representations and travel at a juncture in theoretical work that recognizes the limits of representation, things that lie outside of representation and the continuing power of representation. The emphasis is on the myriad ways travelers/scholars employ representation in their writing/analyses as they re-think the intersections between travelers, fields of representation, imagination, emotions and corporeal experiences in the past, the present and the future.
Download or read book Odyssey of Akyemkwaa written by Nana Adjaloo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Memoir, Odyssey of Akyemkwaa, is a coming-of-age story written with finesse and encompasses narrations which evoke scenes in a documentary movie. The main character, Siam Erzuah, is a Sales Representative working for the Sheehy Auto Group in Alexandria, Virginia. Encouraged by his appreciative customers as well as others, he reveals his personal life stories with a surprising flair of an accomplished story teller. From the beginning, the book takes the reader to the Village of Agona Mankrong in Ghana where Erzuah was born. In the early stages of his life, he becomes conscious of his parents’ constant financial woes. As a result, he decides not to follow their subsistence farming occupation (his father also had an additional job as a Field Assistant for the Ministry of Agriculture helping Cocoa farmers). In succinct language, the book portrays Erzuah as having a profound distaste for subsistence farming out of various reasons including his morbid fear of snakes. Hence, he decides to take the education route to have a better job in the future. Despite the desire to be educated, the book tells of how Erzuah almost had his secondary school admission cancelled because of prolonged sickness and subsequent death of his elder brother—a situation which causes his parents to be financially incapacitated. Out of desperation, his parents want to postpone his education, but Erzuah will hear none of it! His insistence on going to school forces his father to ask for help from his friend, a move that causes Erzuah to end up in a virtual domestic slavery. Throughout his secondary and college education, the book traces Erzuah’s struggles and progress with candor and humor. At one point, he is cornered and beaten up by a student gang of five for no reason. On another occasion, he steals a roasted plantain when he could not contain his hunger anymore, but gets caught and punished. His first job at Ghana’s Bureau of National Investigations, and subsequent travel to the United States caps a life full of drama, successes, failures, and also determination. As a coming-of-age story, Odyssey of Akyemkwaa represents the archetypal rite-de-passage experienced by the average male growing up in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is a life story often times seen only on TV’s in America and other Western Countries. This is a must read book for all adults, college students, and those who find themselves under unbearable stress in life.
