Drawing on two decades of research, this social and political history of North-Western Ghana explores the creation and redefinition of ethnic distinctions and commonalities by Africans and Europeans. It shows how ethnicity's power ultimately derives from a contradiction: while ethnic identities purport to be non-negotiable, and security, the boundaries of the communities created and the associated traits and practices are malleable and adaptable to specific interests and contexts.
