Drawing on two decades of research this social and political
history of North-Western Ghana traces the creation of new ethnic
and territorial boundaries, categories and forms of
self-understanding, and represents a major contribution to debates
on ethnicity, colonialism and the 'production of history'. It
explores the creation and redefinition of ethnic distinctions and
commonalities by African and European actors, showing that
ethnicity's power derives from a contradiction: while ethnic
identities purport to be non-negotiable, creating permanent bonds,
stability and security, the boundaries of the communities created
and the associated traits and practices are malleable and adaptable
to specific interests and contexts.
