Book Synopsis The Chief: Ghana’s Rich Asset, Heritage, and Alternative Source of Community Development by : Michael Marnu
Download or read book The Chief: Ghana’s Rich Asset, Heritage, and Alternative Source of Community Development written by Michael Marnu and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, the Chief addresses an alternative source of authority that can be harnessed to help with community development. It is one of the nation's rich assets and heritage. He is the traditional ruler called the Chief or ‘Nana’. He has been in the organization of communal labour, promotion of socio-economic development and involved in maintaining peace and order and development of his area since pre-colonial times. The Chieftaincy institution is recognized and accorded its autonomy in the Constitution of Ghana. The government may avoid gross infrastructural deficits in the local communities if he works in collaboration with the Chiefs. I believe also that every society has resources to better the lives of its people. The book is written around the background of the Akan Chieftaincy system, its legal position, the chief’s profile – criteria of his selection; his eleven golden responsibilities to influence the community; the community assets, twelve steps of ways to start community projects and ends up with a controversy among the Christendom, ‘Should a Christian become a Chief?’ The masterpiece is a ‘wake up cry’ to inform, educate, instruct, celebrate, and inspire the Chief and his Traditional Council of what he urgently needs to deal with. The Chieftaincy system is an ancient institution and is still important and relevant. It is inappropriate to be seen as symbolic and ceremonial. It is time for the Chief to take stock of the power and authority vested in him and the influence he has. He need not be like a queen waiting on a king but to be like a queen busy with her kingdom until her king arrives. Why live when you can rule.

Book Synopsis Chieftaincy in Ghana by : Irene K. Odotei
Download or read book Chieftaincy in Ghana written by Irene K. Odotei and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chieftaincy is one of the most enduring traditional institutions in Ghana, which has displayed remarkable resilience from pre-colonial through colonial to postcolonial times. In the past, the role of a chief was to lead his people in war to defend, protect and extend their territories. The modern role is to combat poverty and other social ills: illiteracy, ignorance, environmental degradation, and the depletion of resources. Nowadays, chiefs are under pressure to achieve good governance in their traditional areas. They are challenged to integrate tradition and modernity, a process about which there is considerable debate. They carry out their duties in an increasingly globalised world where the accent is on democracy, human rights, health delivery, employment, human development and regional integration. Their ability to come to terms with these challenges will provide an indication of their relevance and the relevance of the institution to Ghana?s long-term development. This massive volume is arguably the most comprehensive and detailed scholarly study of the institution of chieftaincy to appear on the subject to date. The subjects and approaches are wide- ranging, and cover most aspects of the institution in every geographical area in Ghana. Some thirty contributors from the humanities and social sciences tell the story of chieftaincy past and present from a multitude of perspectives: anthropological, historical, economic, sociological, gender, literary, religious and philosophical.

Book Synopsis World Heritage and Sustainable Development by : Peter Bille Larsen
Download or read book World Heritage and Sustainable Development written by Peter Bille Larsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, the General Assembly of State Parties to the World Heritage Convention passed a ground-breaking Sustainable Development policy that seeks to bring the World Heritage system into line with the UN’s sustainable development agenda (UNESCO 2015). World Heritage and Sustainable Development provides a broad overview of the process that brought about the new policy and the implications of its enactment. The book is divided into four parts. Part I puts the policy in its historical and theoretical context, and Part II offers an analysis of the four policy dimensions on which the policy is based – environmental sustainability, inclusive social development, inclusive economic development and the fostering of peace and security. Part III presents perspectives from IUCN, ICOMOS and ICCROM – the three Advisory Bodies to the World Heritage Committee, and Part IV offers ‘case study’ perspectives on the practical implications of the policy. Contributions come from a wide range of experienced heritage professionals and practitioners who offer both ‘inside’ perspectives on the evolution of the policy and ‘outside’ perspectives on its implications. Combined, they present and analyse the main ideas, debates and implications of the policy change. This book is key reading for all heritage professionals interested in developing a better understanding of the new Sustainable Development policy. It is also essential reading for scholars and students working in the area.

Book Synopsis Culture and History of Olokoro People by : Paul Okamnaonu Nwaogu
Download or read book Culture and History of Olokoro People written by Paul Okamnaonu Nwaogu and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about Olokoro, our community. The account is not comprehensive, but it forms an important beginning (as other accounts before it) in the formal and permanent documentation of the history, culture, and the way of life of our people and their achievements. The community has grown from a point where its government has transformed from a mere disparate village organization to a level where a unified election dominates the process. The community is made up of diverse population with different ideological orientations that should be harnessed for the development of the community. His Royal Highness Eze J. J. Ogbulafor, Uvuoma 1 of Olokoro, took development of the community seriously as well as extolled the culture. The present dispensation of having many Ezes in Olokoro will lead to progress if properly harnessed by all and sundry. My vision for Olokoro in this regard is articulated in my autobiography (Nwaogu 2015.175). Olokoro community belongs to us all, and denizens should feel free to contribute ideas that will move our community forward. Perceptive readers are welcome, and this includes sharing of comments, suggestions, insights that will broaden our minds toward the achievement of a unified, progressive, and respectable community.

Book Synopsis African Heritage Challenges by : Britt Baillie
Download or read book African Heritage Challenges written by Britt Baillie and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-27 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The richness of Africa’s heritage at times stands in stark contrast to the economic, health, political and societal challenges faced. Development is essential but in what forms? For whom? Following whose agendas? At what costs? This book explores how heritage can promote, secure, or undermine sustainable development with special focus on sub-Saharan Africa, and in turn, how this affects conceptions of heritage. The chapters in this volume identify shared challenges, good practices and failures, and use specific case studies to provide detailed insights into varied forms of heritage and heritage defining processes on the continent. By critically analysing the often romanticised discourses of ‘heritage’, ‘community engagement’, and ‘sustainable development’ the volume suggests ways of harnessing aspects of heritage to tackle some of the socio-economic and political pressures facing heritage practices on the continent, including the legacies of colonialism.
