  • NPP Manifesto.Pdf
    FOREWORD BY THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE I am excited to write the foreword to “MOVING GHANA FORWARD – BUILDING A MODERN GHANA,” our manifesto for the 2008 elections. This is a historic moment for our Party. We have had two successful terms and stand poised to win another. The values of our Party are becoming day-by-day, the values of our country. We are committed to building an open society where respect for human rights, the rule of law, free markets and faith in our country are its bedrocks. These were the values, whose entrenchment in our body politic, were defined as the goals of Ghanaian nationalism on that fateful Saturday of 4th August 1947, when the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) of blessed memory, was launched at Saltpond in the Central Region to spearhead the agitation for national independence and freedom. Unfortunately, however, Africa and Ghana’s political classes subsequently became infatuated with the ideology of centralised control of society and one –party and one-person dictatorships. As a result, many of our leaders were persecuted. Many were imprisoned and some, including the founding father of our tradition, the man whose scholarship gave our country its name Ghana, Joseph Boakye Danquah and his great ally, Emmanuel Obetsebi -Lamptey, died in political detention without trial, much to the shame of our nation. Despite the persecution, those in our tradition never doubted that their values would triumph in the end. Before the Berlin Wall came down after nearly half-a-century of a cold and bitter global struggle, we were on the right side of history.

  • African Football Labor Migrants in Egypt
    School of Humanities and Social Sciences Molding and Moving Bodies in a Neoliberal World: African Football Labor Migrants in Egypt A Thesis Submitted to The Department of Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology, and Egyptology In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts In Sociology – Anthropology By Andrea Groves Under the supervision of Dr. Joseph Hill September 2011 Abstract Egypt has a large profitable football industry that increasingly attracts the attention of both football agents wanting to earn income from another market and sub-Saharan football players hoping to further a career by using Egypt as an intermediary between their home countries and Europe. The labor migration of sub-Saharan football players to Egypt has been enabled mainly by neoliberal, market-orientated changes adopted by FIFA, the CAF, the European Union, and the Egyptian football industry itself. Yet more importantly it is the individual actors that implement and take advantage of these hegemonic spheres of influence. This thesis explores how these individual actors and sub-Saharan football players have negotiated the neoliberal project. Specifically it shows the changes brought by localized mutations of neoliberalism as well as its continuities how they affect the ways in which sub-Saharan football players in Egypt move, work, and live. ii Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank my thesis advisor Professor Joseph Hill for listening, teaching, and advising me through out this research. I would not have been able to complete this thesis without his guidance. I would also like to thank Professor Mark Westmoreland for his enthusiasm, belief in this subject, and his honesty.
