Nkrumah & Chiefs : Politics of Chieftaincy in Ghana 1951-1960 Paperback
by Richard Rathbone
Part of the Western African Studies series
Paperback
Description
The end of independent chieftaincy must be one of the most fundamental changes in the long history of Ghana, and one of the central achievements that Kwame Nkrumah and his movement brought about.
Nkrumah & the Chiefs examines a radical nationalist government's attempts to destroy chieftaincy in Ghana.
Richard Rathbone's pioneering work shows how chiefly resistance forced the government to seek control over rural areas by incorporating and redefining chieftaincy.
Based primarily on previously unconsulted archival and other material in Ghana, Nkrumah & the Chiefs is a detailed analysis of this neglected side of Ghana's history.
