The first integrated history of the Ghana-Togo borderlands. The
current border between Ghana and Togo is usually regarded as a
classically arbitrary European construct, resisted by Ewe
irredentism. Paul Nugent challenges this conventional wisdom,
contending that whatever the origins of partition, border peoples
quickly became knowing and active participants in the shaping of
this international boundary. This book straddles the conventional
divide between social and political history. It offers a
reconstructionof a long-range history of smuggling and a
reappraisal of Ewe identity. It should be of interest to African
historians, political scientists, anthropologists, comparative
borderlands scholars and others concerned with issues of
criminality, identity and the state. North America: Ohio U Press
