Based on unprecedented access to the Ghanaian military barracks and
inspired by the recent resurgence of coups in West Africa, Agyekum
assesses why and how the Ghana Armed Forces were transformed from
an organization that actively orchestrated coups into an
institution that accepts the authority of the democratically
elected civilian government. Focusing on the process of
professionalization of the Ghanaian military, this ethnography
based monograph examines both historical and contemporary themes,
and assesses the shift in military personnel from 'Buga Buga'
soldiers - uneducated, lower-class soldiers, human rights abusers -
to a more 'modern' fighting force.
