Bauxite bead production at Akyem Abompe in the Eastern Region of
Ghana is an occupational specialization of the community in
addition to farming and other economic activities. This book takes
a look at bauxite bead production as an indigenous craft practiced
in a milieu of gender dynamics and indigenous technology
transmitted across generations. Drawing on evidences, the book
explored aspects of gender in the discovery of bauxite beads,
access to local bauxite mines, the process and technique of bead
production, usage and style. As an indigenous community craft in
which gender is a critical aspect of the dynamic relationships in
production processes, gender also informs the design, usage and
consequently aspects of form and style.
