Book Synopsis Hausa Women in the Twentieth Century by : Catherine M. Coles
Download or read book Hausa Women in the Twentieth Century written by Catherine M. Coles and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1991-10-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hausa are one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa, with populations in Nigeria, Niger, and Ghana. Their long history of city-states and Islamic caliphates, their complex trading economies, and their cultural traditions have attracted the attention of historians, political economists, linguists, and anthropologists. The large body of scholarship on Hausa society, however, has assumed the subordination of women to men. Hausa Women in the Twentieth Century refutes the notion that Hausa women are pawns in a patriarchal Muslim society. The contributors, all of whom have done field research in Hausaland, explore the ways Hausa women have balanced the demands of Islamic expectations and Western choices as their society moved from a precolonial system through British colonial administration to inclusion in the modern Nigerian nation. This volume examines the roles of a wide variety of women, from wives and workers to political activists and mythical figures, and it emphasizes that women have been educators and spiritual leaders in Hausa society since precolonial times. From royalty to slaves and concubines, in traditional Hausa cities and in newer towns, from the urban poor to the newly educated elite, the "invisible women" whose lives are documented here demonstrate that standard accounts of Hausa society must be revised. Scholars of Hausa and neighboring West African societies will find in this collection a wealth of new material and a model of how research on women can be integrated with general accounts of Hausa social, religious, political, and economic life. For students and scholars looking at gender and women's roles cross-culturally, this volume provides an invaluable African perspective.

This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Ghana approaches its 60th birthday, optimism and worries for the future continue to be present in equal measure. Economic growth in the last decade has been high by historical standards. Indeed, recent rebasing of GDP figures has put Ghana over the per capita income threshold into Middle Income Country status. However, structural transformation has lagged behind. Fiscal discipline has also eroded significantly and there is heavy borrowing, especially on the commercial market, while elements of the natural resource curse from oil have already occurred. The question most observers ask is whether the gains from two decades of reforms are being reversed. Given this background, this volume brings together leading established and young economists, from within and outside Ghana, to analyze and assess the challenges facing Ghana's economy as it enters its seventh decade and the nation heads towards three quarters of a century of independence. The chapters cover the major macroeconomic and sectoral issues, including fiscal and monetary policy, trade and industrialization, agriculture and infrastructure. The volume also covers a full range of social issues including poverty and inequality, education, health, gender, and social protection. The book also examines the implications of the oil boom for Ghanaian development, and the role of institutions.
Book Synopsis An Anatomy Of Ghanaian Politics by : Naomi Chazan
Download or read book An Anatomy Of Ghanaian Politics written by Naomi Chazan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paths of African states have diverged markedly since the termination of colonial rule. Nevertheless, Ghana, the first African state to achieve independence, epitomizes both the political gyrations and the overall stagnation common to many other countries on the continent. This work concentrates on the 1969–1982 period in Ghana, focusing on two interrelated facets of African politics: the decline of state power and authority, and adjustments to political recession. The author traces the dual patterns of diminution of the state and the adaptation of autonomous coping mechanisms in the separate spheres of political leadership, political structures and institutions, ideology, and political economy. The dynamic of state-society interactions is then treated in terms of the rhythm of dissent, conflict, and disengagement. Dr. Chazan provides a comprehensive study of Ghanaian politics from the 1970s to the present. By systematically analyzing the process of political decline and regeneration, she highlights similar processes apparent elsewhere in Africa. The stress on the subtleties and direction of political change has important implications for policymakers and policy analysts alike.

Book Synopsis Small Enterprises Under Adjustment in Ghana by : William F. Steel
Download or read book Small Enterprises Under Adjustment in Ghana written by William F. Steel and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1991 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghana is often cited as an African country that has undertaken major macroeconomic reforms with generally positive results for economic growth. Within Ghana's industrial sector, the effects of structural adjustment policies have differed among subsectors and firms. Little is known, however, about the impact of adjustment on smaller firms. A survey of small-scale enterprises (SSEs) was carried out in November 1989 to learn more about the impact of the adjustment program on their operations, to evaluate their potential contribution to dynamic industrial recovery, and to identify appropriate measures that would accelerate the growth of SSEs in numbers, size and productivity. Specific objectives of the survey were to : 1) learn more about the characteristics of small firms and their owners; 2) analyze how policy changes have affected small firms, highlighting entrepreneurs' strategies for adapting to their new environments; and 3) identify constraints to the future growth of small firms. Results show that adjustment policies have forced the SSEs to become more competitive to survive and that significant structural changes are taking place across subsectors and within firms. The overall business environment has generally improved during the adjustment program, although shortcomings remain. Uncertainty about political and economic stability and lack of finance appear to be the most immediate restraints on investment.
