A study of conjugal and kin relationships in a group of urban,
educated West Africans, Akan Senior Civil Servants in Accra. As
well as representing a contribution to the growing body of data on
marriage and family life in West Africa, the book is an exercise in
methodology in which the aim has been to evolve ways of documenting
and comparing two major aspects of conjugal family relationships:
the division of labour, resources and power between spouses, and
the extent to which the conjugal family is a functionally discrete
unit in a number of domestic activity areas. This documentation and
analysis leads to the examination of marital continuity and change
among urban migrants from a region characterised by matrilineal
descent and inheritance.
