What keeps a family together? In Imagining Futures, authors Carola
Lentz and Isidore Lobnibe offer a unique look at one extended
African family, currently comprising over five hundred members in
Northern Ghana and Burkina Faso. Members of this extended family,
like many others in the region, find themselves living increasingly
farther apart and working in diverse occupations ranging from
religious clergy and civil service to farming. What keeps them
together as a family? In their groundbreaking work, Lentz and
Lobnibe argue that shared memories, rather than only material
interests, bind a family together. Imagining Futures explores the
changing practices of remembering in an African family and offers a
unique contribution to the growing field of memory studies, beyond
the usual focus of Europe and America. Lentz and Lobnibe explore
how, in an increasingly globalized, postcolonial world, memories
themselves are not static accounts of past events but are actually
malleable and shaped by both current concerns and imagined futures.
