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 Law and Social Change in Ghana written by William Burnett Harvey and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Professor of Law and Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Ghana from 1962 to 1964, the author personally observed the evolving legal order in Ghana during a crucial period in that country's development. Here, he considers statutes and judicial decisions. Working from the premise that law is a value-neutral technique of social ordering and derives its value content from a dominant elite, Professor Harvey places the important Ghanaian constitutional and legal developments in their social context. He concludes that although democratic values have dominated the basic structure of public power, autocratic values have determined the realities of political life in Ghana.

Download or read book Mate Selection Across Cultures written by Raeann R Hamon and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2003-08-14 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A book like this is needed because we teach about couple formation as in some ways ′universal′ and in other ways culturally bound. We have few resources for showing how various countries and cultures are the same and yet different....I am interested in giving students a broad view of relationships and families, and this text would help me." --Susan Hendrick, Texas Tech University "I believe that this is a much needed book. . . . Faculty in family studies, personal relationships and other fields are working to. . . diversify their courses, and this book has the potential to be a true asset in such endeavors." -- Sally A. Lloyd, Miami University Mate Selection Across Cultures explores one of the most basic human endeavors—couple formation—with particular attention to those relationships that lead to marriage. Which characteristics are most prized in a mate? How do variables like personal and cultural values, religious beliefs and practices, political and historical contexts, socioeconomic standing, and interpersonal attraction affect the pairing process? Editors Raeann R. Hamon and Bron B. Ingoldsby examine the enterprise of mate selection and look at the similarities and differences of human bonds around the globe. Mate Selection Across Cultures provides a contemporary, global perspective on the couple formation process in various regions of the world including countries such as Ecuador, Kenya, Israel, and many more. This book is unique in that it explores the vast sub-cultural diversity and variation that exists within any one country and also reviews such concepts as modernization/traditionalism, arranged marriage/free choice, love/family practicality, cohabitation/marriage, and collectivism/individualism. In addition to exploring these dichotomies, the editors delineate the partner selection process and investigate the practices, customs, traditions, rituals, and ceremonies associated with the formalization of these relationships. Features of this text: Expert contributors provide students with an "insider view" of the original research and of the existing literature on the individual countries and regions addressed Includes countries for which there is little or no published family scholarship Case studies, vignettes, and photos of courtship and wedding traditions across cultures enliven the text for readers Uniformity across chapters makes it easy for instructors and students to examine comparisons between and among different cultures Mate Selection Across Cultures is an excellent text for undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in marriage, family, and human relations in Family Studies, Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology, and related disciplines.
