Home Help Search Site index ... LSE for You You are here - Welcome to LSE Press and Information Office Publications New books Labour, Land and Capital in Ghana: from slavery to free labour in Asante, 1807-1956 Reviews Gareth Austin University of Rochester Press (March 2005) This is a study of the changing rules and relationships within which natural, human and man-made resources were mobilised for production during the development of an agricultural export economy in Asante, a major West African kingdom which became, by 1945, the biggest regional contributor to Ghana's status as the world's largest cocoa producer. The period 1807-1956 as a whole was distinguished in Asante history by relatively favourable political conditions for indigenous as well as (during colonial rule) for foreign private enterprise. It saw generally increasing external demands for products that could be produced on Asante land. This book, which fills a major gap in Asante economic history, transcends the traditional divide between studies of pre-colonial and of twentieth-century African history. It analyses the interaction of coercion and the market in the context of a rich but fragile natural environment, the central process being a transition from slavery and debt-bondage to hired labour and agricultural indebtedness. It contributes to the broad debate about Africa's historic combination of emerging capitalist institutions and persistent precapitalist ones, and tests the major theories of the political economy of institutional change.

[Add Section] Map View Enlargement History [edit this] North of Moudjeria photo by: Eric Studer [Upload image] THE SAHARA HAS LINKED rather than divided the peoples who inhabit it and has served as an avenue for migration and conquest. Mauritania lying next to the Atlantic coast at the western edge of the desert received and assimilated into its complex society many waves of these migrants and conquerors. Berbers moved south to Mauritania beginning in the third century A.D. followed by Arabs in the eighth century subjugating and assimilating Mauritania's original inhabitants. From the eighth through the fifteenth century black kingdoms of the western Sudan such as Ghana Mali and Songhai brought their political culture from the south. The divisive tendencies of the various groups within Mauritanian society have always worked against the development of Mauritanian unity. Both the Sanhadja Confederation at its height from the eighth to the tenth century and the Almoravid Empire from the eleventh to the twelfth century were weakened by internecine warfare and both succumbed to further invasions from the Ghana Empire and the Almohad Empire respectively. The one external influence that tended to unify the country was Islam. The Islamization of Mauritania was a gradual process that spanned more than 500 years. Beginning slowly through contacts with Berber and Arab merchants engaged in the important caravan trades and rapidly advancing through the Almoravid conquests Islamization did not take firm hold until the arrival of Yemeni Arabs in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and was not complete until several centuries later. Gradual Islamization was accompanied by a process of arabization as well during which the Berber masters of Mauritania lost power and became vassals of their Arab conquerors.

African countries that have had various types of monetary authorities Systems with competitive issue of the monetary base Free bankingCompetitive issue by banks of notes (paper money) and deposits with few special regulations.

Besides these episodes, there was also limited competition in Mozambique (1919-42*). Botswana (1897) and Nigeria (sometime 1899-1912) had episodes of note issue by a single bank either too brief or not extensive enough to usefully classify as free banking.

Sahara , which in Arabic simply means "The Desert." Around 750 AD, under the influence of Islamic peoples, northern and western Africans began to use the camel to transport goods across this forbidding terrain. Camels do several things exceptionally well: they can carry unbelievably heavy loads for impossibly long distances and they can keep their footing on sandy terrain. It was as if someone had invented sand ships and its effect on western African culture was just as profound as if they were sand ships. The most important developments occurred in the Sahel area just south of the Sahara; the Sahel provided southern terminal points for the goods being shipped across the Sahara. The Sahel is a dry, hot area with fertile areas and grasslands; all of the major north African kingdoms grew up in this area: Ghana, Mali, Songhay, and Kanem-Bornu: the Sahelian kingdoms Soninke , a Mande speaking people living in the region bordering the Sahara. They built their capital city, Kumbi Saleh, right on the edge of the Sahara and the city quickly became the most dynamic and important southern terminus of the Saharan trade routes. Ghana (this is why we now call the kingdom, Ghana). The kingship was matrilineal (as was all Sahelian monarchies to follow); the king's sister provided the heir to the throne. In addition to military power, the king appears to have been the supreme judge of the kingdom.

On the Ghana side of the basin a regional transect has been extracted from 3-D surveys and supplemented by recently acquired deepwater 2-D seismic sections. This 160 km transect extends from near shore to water depths of 3,500 meters and is interpreted to highlight the basin history in a regional context. A wide range of reservoir, source, and trap style possibilities are present in the Tano Basin. Syn-rift Aptian and Albian continental to shallow marine facies are the reservoir intervals in the North Tano Development Area on the shelf. In deeper water the reservoir for WT-1X and 2X discoveries are post-rift Upper Cretaceous turbidites. The most significant source rocks in the basin are Albian syn-rift lacustrine shales, which locally are 4,000 meters thick. Other potential source rocks include Cenomanian and Turonian marine shales and the Devonian Takoradi Shale. Structural trap styles in the Tano-Ivory Coast basin include rotated fault blocks below the break-up unconformity and faulted or ponded channel systems above the unconformity. Producible stratigraphic traps have been encountered in Maastrichtian and Campanian deepwater fans.

Introduction (cont.) Theoretical Orientation Today, Ghana's artisanal fishing sector (for subsistence and small-scale marketing) is threatened by the large-scale commercialization of fishing in the region. West African fisheries have been exploited by European and Russian fleets since the mid 1700s (Lawson and Kwei 1974). More recently, as northern fishing grounds have become overfished, North American and Asian distant water fleets have moved into West African waters as well (Kaczynski 1989). It is estimated that over 70% of Ghana's commercial catch is exported out of Africa (Ibid). And this is only the catch which actually reaches shore. Although Ghana's total fish production has increased by three hundred per cent in the last three decades (see Figure 1), this upward trend disguises significant problems in certain fisheries and among certain fishing communities. Ghana's staple fishery

In a speech commemorating his fifth year in power in January 1987, Rawlings had announced proposals for the decentralization of government. These had included promises of elections for DAs and a national debate on the ERP. The debate on the ERP never materialized, but debates on the elections and the DAs did. Among the radical changes introduced in local government elections were provisions that no cash deposits were required of candidates for district level elections and that illiteracy in English was no longer a disqualification. To accommodate nonEnglish speakers in the DAs and to make assembly debates accessible to the majority of constituents, local languages could be used in the DAs. The elections were to be nonpartisan: the ban on political parties was not lifted. Implementation of the decentralization program and preparation for the district elections did not completely silence the opposition nor did it remove the sources of public discontent and disaffection toward the government within some sections of the Ghanaian population.
