Paper Edition. This book focuses on the history of the Anlo-Eve of southeastern Ghana over three centuries.
Sandra Greene argues convincingly that gender studies and ethnicity in precolonial Africa cannot be understood in isolation. Her book focuses on the history of the Anlo-Ewe of southeastern Ghana over three centuries. It documents the changes that occurred in ethnic boundaries as the community absorbed refugees, traders, and conquerors. It then analyzes the way shifting ethnic definitions affected gender relations. Greene eschews simplistic analyses of oppression and agency. All in Anlo society are given a voice and allowed to speak from their own perspective--a new and exciting standard for analyzing the history of social relations in precolonial Africa.
