SWARTHMORE AFRICAN STUDENTS ASSOCIATION (SASA) AFRICA MINI-FAQ Culture Economy Geography Health ... Miscellaneous However, we promise to our best within limits. Culture What is the culture of Ghana? What would you say are some major cultural differences between the US and Ghana? Earlier someone mentioned that hugging as a greeting was new to you, what are some others? What is rude here and not there and vice versa? Economy I was in Africa two years ago, and although i never saw people living in trees, I noticed something rather shocking. In some neighborhoods there were mansions that were built practically next to mud houses. And the rich folks were living very much like Prince Akeem in "Coming to America"! There's inequality everywhere, but it was rather pronounced, because I guess these folks lived side by side. So the question is, what are the rich Africans doing about their poor folks? What's the point in complaining about inequalities in the gobal economy when Africans themselves practice it in their own backyards? Geography Do Africans in Africa feel a kinship to other peoples on the continent? Or is it like say, Americans and Mexicans, divergent groups who associate virtually only on the basis of economics?

A Culture of Change in Africa Boston Globe - Editorial Notebook - April 1999 by Renee Loth ACCRA, Ghana It isn't far from this bustling capital with its modern hotels and office towers, to traditional villages were there is no electricity or running water, much less the Internet or "Oprah." In most of this West African nation; traditional values and practices are yielding only slowly to the new ideas presented by foreign aid workers Alhaji Amidu Sulemana, the government's regional health minister in the rural northeast district, crystalized his country's suspicion of change when he said that many people still believe family planning is "a conspiracy from the West" aimed at reducing the population of Africans. "A people without a culture is not a race, he said. "We shall guard our traditions jealously." It was in response to such resistance that the 1994 world summit on population and development, sponsored by the United Nations, designed a broader approach to attaining stable populations than simply pushing birth control. The summit's Programme of Action, signed by 179 countries including Ghana, features better overall health care, education, and especially the empowerment of women and girls in a more holistic approach to keeping families small.

The central and western regions of present day Ghana, as well as other coastal areas, played a prominent role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Forts and Castles built by the Dutch, Portuguese, Danes and British during the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries for use as trading posts, were utilized as centers for the transshipment of slaves to the Americas and the West Indies. Cape Coast Castle, and Elmina (St. George's) Castle, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are two of the many forts and castles along the coast line of Ghana, stand as testament to, "Slavery, A crime against Humanity." Emancipation Day Festival , which takes place in August of each year, commemorates the Abolition of Chattel Slavery in the British Colonies in 1834 and in the Americas in 1865. This festival facilitates the payment of tribute to ancestors who endured the atrocities of Slavery. The high point of the first commemorative event in 1998 was the return of the remains of two African Ancestors, namely Samuel Carson from the United States of America, and Crystal from Jamaica who were re-interred at Assin Manso. The climax of the 1999 festival was the erection "Monument of Return" at the tomb of the returned African Ancestors at Assin Manso. This monument is in the memory of all Africans who lost their lives in the Slave Trade.
