<p>This book provides an overview of life in rural Ghana, of the impact of social and economic change on rural communities, and of the increasing wealth-gap between the urban and the rural areas. It further documents a case study, which ran over a period of twenty-eight years, and examines the history and origins of the people of Konkonuru, a village in the Akwapim Hills. It shows this village has had many contacts with the outside world but also remains self-contained in many respects. It considers the impact of early missionaries on the community's traditional institutions; the impact of migration, and modernisation; the changing nature of traditional values, and how to best develop agricultural systems and infrastructure. The author was formerly a senior lecturer at the London School of Economics, and University of Ghana.</p>
