There Is No Word For Cousin: Understanding Ghanaian Homelessness From An American Context, Kenneth Hutchinson Apr 2003

There Is No Word For Cousin: Understanding Ghanaian Homelessness From An American Context, Kenneth Hutchinson

African Diaspora ISPs

This paper serves as an investigation into the Ghanaian society and culture in efforts to understand and explain notions of homelessness. Using my previous research on family homelessness in San Francisco, California as a general frame work and example of American homelessness, this paper juxtaposes the American concept of homelessness with the Ghanaian concept. Information gathered from institutions, people and professionals is used to extract and explain some important themes that help us to better understanding the problem of homelessness in Ghana: Its meanings forms and treatment.

The Pursuit Of Development In Ghana, Jessamyn Mayher Apr 2003

The Pursuit Of Development In Ghana, Jessamyn Mayher

African Diaspora ISPs

Drawing on research from primary and secondary sources, in four major sections, this paper examines the evolution of development as a concept, the meaning of development according to commonplace western institutional perception, the meaning of development according to local perceptions of Ghanaian university students, and a critique of the contrast through the overlaps and gaps in definition and language. In conclusion, this study has shown that imperialism is playing a noticeable role in the perception of the meaning of development including the indications of and the path to such a state for Ghanaian society.

Toward Reparations Policy In Ghana A Study Of The Reparations Movement In Ghana, West Africa., Elizabeth Whittaker Oct 2002

Toward Reparations Policy In Ghana A Study Of The Reparations Movement In Ghana, West Africa., Elizabeth Whittaker

African Diaspora ISPs

Ghana has a history of being an impetus for Pan-African change. However, the reparations movement that recently gained international attention at the United Nations World Conference Against Racism does not yet have an organized mass-base of consensus of awareness in Ghana. While many people agree that the slave trade and colonialism have contributed to Ghana's problems of poverty, unemployment, and limited educational resources, few have associated these needs with the term "reparations".

Migration And Cultural Identity: Performing The Afro-Caribbean Woman's Struggle, Elvinet Samantha Wilson Jan 2002

Migration And Cultural Identity: Performing The Afro-Caribbean Woman's Struggle, Elvinet Samantha Wilson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Current research suggests a relationship between cultural identity negotiation and the phenomenon of border crossing. While a wealth of literature exists on the topic of migration, few studies reflect a scope that includes in-depth analysis of the experiences of Afro-Caribbean women in the United States.Through ethnographic and autoethnographic methodologies, and using a feminist theoretical lens, this study explores issues relating to cultural identity negotiation in the lives of 10 Black women from Jamaica, The Bahamas, and Trinidad, who now reside in the Midwest region of the United States. Analysis based on a grounded theory approach, allowed themes to emerge from …

Review Of The Book A Patchwork Shawl: Chronicles Of South Asian Women In America, Anjali Ram Jan 2000

Review Of The Book A Patchwork Shawl: Chronicles Of South Asian Women In America, Anjali Ram

Arts & Sciences Faculty Publications

Ever since western feminist scholarship was accused of defining gender in transhistorical and transcultural ways, there have been attempts to add the category, `woman of colour’, in feminist enterprises that rang e from the academic to the administrative. Such toke n gestures inevitably re-inscribe the problem by glossing over distinctive material histories and the particularity of women’s experiences and struggles. For those of us who refuse such additive, tokenist approaches, A Patchwork Shawl edited by Shamita Das Dasgupta is a welcome contribution. Written by South Asian immigrant and first generation women, A Patchwork Shawlis, to us e Dasgupta’s words, `a …

Goodrich Scholarship Faculty Publications

As the African diaspora continues to define its own unique position and global contributions, African diaspora studies are necessarily asserting themselves as essential to the cultural-diversity and multiculturalism discourse in the U.S. and, most important, as an indispensable part of the current discourse on pan-Africanist consciousness, global identity, and the new world order.
