This study brings together the fields of gender studies and ethnic studies to examine precolonial Africa. The focus is on the history of the Anlo-Ewe of south-eastern Ghana from the 17th-19th centuries, though in the last two chapters the author extends her analysis to the 20th century. The changing boundary between we and they is documented, as the community absorbed refugees, traders and conquerors. As family eldes competed for limited resources, they began to sacrifice the interests of young womenunder their authority. The women reacted against being marginalized, and aligned themselves with non-kin, who most often were religiously influential ethnic outsiders in the community. By the end of the 19th century, the boundary between we and they ,and the way in which men and women intracted, had changed significantly.
Transformations; gendered responses - ethnic outsiders in 18th- and 19th-century Anlo; the road not taken; ethnicity in colonial Anlo - the gender connection; gender in colonial and post-colonial Anlo - the ethnic connection; conclusion.
