She compares first- and second-generation immigrants - those born in their rural homelands, and those born in Ghana - in terms of their orientation to politics, to kinship, and to community participation. The author explores the meaning of ethnic identity for rural- and urban-born immigrants, and establishes certain generalizations about ethnicity based on these comparisons. The book discusses the issues of migration, particularly interregional migration; the position of the 'stranger'; questions of cultural change in modern Africa; the 'generational gap' in the African context; the questions of citizenship and national identity in Africa today, and the emergence of new identities, regional, national and religious. This book has importance not only as a local case study that gives a full description of West African urban life, but also as a theoretical reconsideration of ethnicity that has application outside the African context.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939569205536,"sku":"NEW0521040531","price":61.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/people-of-the-zongo-the-transformation-of-ethnic-identities-in-ghana-cambridge-studies-in-social-and-cultural-anthropology-series-number-20-0521040531","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
