Privacy Policy The history of the Gold Coast before the last quarter of the 15th century is derived primarily from oral tradition that refers to migrations from the ancient kingdoms of the western Soudan (the area of Mauritania and Mali). The Gold Coast was renamed Ghana upon independence in 1957 because of indications that present-day inhabitants descended from migrants who moved south from the ancient kingdom of Ghana. The first contact between Europe and the Gold Coast dates from 1470, when a party of Portuguese landed. In 1482, the Portuguese built Elmina Castle as a permanent trading base. The first recorded English trading voyage to the coast was made by Thomas Windham in 1553. During the next three centuries, the English, Danes, Dutch, Germans, and Portuguese controlled various parts of the coastal areas. In 1821, the British Government took control of the British trading forts on the Gold Coast. In 1844, Fanti chiefs in the area signed an agreement with the British that became the legal steppingstone to colonial status for the coastal area. From 1826 to 1900, the British fought a series of campaigns against the Ashantis, whose kingdom was located inland. In 1902, they succeeded in establishing firm control over the Ashanti region and making the northern territories a protectorate. British Togoland, the fourth territorial element eventually to form the nation, was part of a former German colony administered by the United Kingdom from Accra as a League of Nations mandate after 1922. In December 1946, British Togoland became a UN Trust Territory, and in 1957, following a 1956 plebiscite, the United Nations agreed that the territory would become part of Ghana when the Gold Coast achieved independence.

Formed from the merger of the British colony of the Gold Coast and the Togoland trust territory, the country in 1957 became the first sub-Saharan country in colonial Africa to gain its independence. It boasts of a rich cultural history right from the colourful kente cloth woven by the Ashanti tribes to the intricate designs of wood craft to that of the splendid architecture of castles lining the coast. Recent findings of INTERPOL record Ghana as the country to have the lowest crime rate in the African Commonwealth Region. (Source INTERPOL Analysis 2004).

Current Research In Search of Security: Migration, Ethnicity and Uneven Development in Ghana; the Case of the Upper West Region, 1887 to the Present Statement of Interest My major field of study is West African history with an ongoing research focus on Ghana. While focusing specifically on Migration, Ethnicity and Uneven-development in Ghana, I am also interested in issues such as slavery and the domestic slave trade, gender and the family economy, identity politics and development in the Third World. I am particularly interested in how women in the Third World survive from day to day, their access to productive resources, opportunities opened to them and the problems they face. I am equally interested in marriage – whether it is an avenue of constraint or one that opens vistas of opportunity, in prostitution, widowhood, trading and farming of motherhood and their social and economic ramifications: how ordinary men and women can earn a living, and what their lives revolve around. My ongoing research on migration, ethnicity and uneven-development in Ghana grew out from a number of factors. Growing up in the northern sector of the country, hardly did I know that the world around me was not a complete whole until at the age of eighteen when I had the opportunity to visit a brother in Takoradi (in the south). Though completely astonished by the stark disparities in terms of development between the south and my part of the country, I did not border to pose questions at that time. It did not even occur to me as an issue worth investigating. Not even at the university level.

Southeastern Regional Seminar in African Studies (SERSAS) Fall Meeting 12 and 13 October 2001 East Carolina University Greenville, North Carolina, USA Transformation Within the Asafo ("Warriors") Institution of Ghana, 1700-2000 Rebecca Shumway Department of History Emory University Atlanta, Georgia, USA beckyshumway@yahoo.com NOTE: This is a draft. Please do not cite without the permission of the author. Introduction. The patrilineal networks created by one's membership in an asafo company, and the inherent conflicts that exist between these ties and one's matrilineal ties, have caused some anthropologists to label the Fante as practicing a system of "double descent," meaning simply that a person can be a member of two different descent groups-one matrilineal and one patrilineal, for separate purposes. But a debate has arisen as to whether or not this pattern of double descent is really a product of a European patrilineal influence on coastal society. The implication being that if the pattern of inheritance and succession within the father's line was adopted from European practices on the Ghana coast, it is somehow less authentic or "indigenous." Historians have stumbled over some rather different aspects of the asafo institution, most notably the origins of the military structure and symbolism displayed by asafo companies. The asafo described in the anthropological literature of the colonial era displayed many features reminiscent of European military groups. For instance, a typical Fante traditional state will have the equivalent of an army general (Tufohen), a senior commander (Supi), multiple captains of subdivisions (Asafohen), and a variety of lesser officers including linguists, executioners, flag carriers, hornblowers, drummers and priests/priestesses.

DRAFT Southeastern Regional Seminar in African Studies A Brief History 15 January 1999 JOSEPH C. MILLER University of Virginia South Asianists had earlier achieved a considerable degree of organization in the region, largely through the outreach activities of the National Defense Education Act Title VI center at the University of Virginia, led by historian Professor Walter Hauser. There was also a Southern Atlantic States Association for Asian and African Studies (SASAAAS), oriented more toward teaching and public outreach than the SSRC Seminar program, but nonetheless illustrative of the possibilities of a regional organization in the enthusiastic participation it enjoyed. There was also interest in forming a less structured Southern Association of Africanists in the region, led by Ann Dunbar and others in central North Carolina, and focused on teaching outreach. Ann Dunbar organized the last meeting of the Seminar's first year at the University of North Carolina on April 20, 1974, focused on discussion of Rodney's How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, with copies provided to all members. Akpan (South Carolina State College) and Nyang presented papers, with comments by Sagay and Thornton. (See report to SSRC, Appendix IId.) Expenses totaled $308.99. On the strength of the benefits that all participants felt they had gained from the Seminar's first year, and indications of continued sponsorship from several institutions in the region, the group resolved to apply for an extension of the Seminar's SSRC funding. All the papers from the year were filed with the Library of Congress through the chief its Exchange and Grant Division (Nathan R. Einhorn).
