This paper defends the thesis that three Ghanaian philosophers, who have been affiliated to the University of Ghana, Legon, have successfully created and defended a systematic and humanistic approach to philosophy in the African context that merits the status of a tradition of philosophy; and that these pioneers of a Legon tradition of philosophy espouse an eclectic, “trans-modernist” outlook that appropriates aspects of modernism and rejects some post- modernist features. Keywords: Trans-modernism, Legon tradition, African Philosophy, postmodernism, modernism Introduction Three Ghanaian philosophers – Kwasi Wiredu, W. E. Abraham, and Kwame Gyekye - have had extensive association with the Department of Philosophy1, University of Ghana, Legon and exerted decisive influence on its philosophical orientation and the development of the current corpus of African philosophy. From their thoughts and orientation has evolved what I term a “trans- modernist” philosophical praxis. I have argued elsewhere that their normative emphasis configures a coherent discourse that justifies joining them into a tradition of Ghanaian political philosophy2. 1 Now called Department of Philosophy and Classics. Legon Journal of the Humanities 29.2 (2018) Page | 1 Ajei, M. O./ Trans-modernism and a Legon tradition of African philosophy I limit my ambitions here to asserting their role in pioneering a nascent Legon tradition of normative philosophy. By “trans-modernity”, I allude to a conscious appropriation of foundational concepts and principles of the modernist canon for ideas and objectives that those elemental blocks of the canon can neither propose nor sustain, and to doing so without a methodic rejection of

  • Culture and Child Sexual Abuse: a Case Study of the Krobo Municipality, Eastern Region of Ghana
    CULTURE AND CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE: A CASE STUDY OF THE KROBO MUNICIPALITY, EASTERN REGION OF GHANA By Dzifa Abra Attah Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Leslie Swartz Co-supervisor: Prof. Angela L. Ofori-Atta December 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT To address problems of child sexual abuse (CSA), it is important to study the cultural norms of the people it affects. To date, sub-Saharan Africa is marked as one of the worst affected regions. Yet, outside South Africa, few sub-Saharan African countries have prioritised research in this area. Knowledge of these cultural contexts may potentially provide a framework within which it may be more possible to help predict, describe and control CSA, and related consequences, effectively. The present study explored the lived experiences of the Krobo people of Ghana, specifically the meanings they ascribed to their sexuality as children and their experiences of CSA. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, these phenomena were explored from three major sources: participant observation of everyday practices in Kroboland, Ghana; interviews with Krobo people, comprising community members and community leaders; and interviews with key informants who had a history of working with children from this context.

These studies have been carried Good signal reception depends on a reliable communication out mostly in the temperate regions. But the severity of rain link. However, as the signal travels through the effect on the signal, are more pronounce at the tropics and communication medium, several factors affect the quality of equatorial regions where intense rainfall events are common the signal at the receiver. In Ku band digital satellite as compared to the temperate regions. This is reported in the transmission, rain is the major cause of link impairment. work of Ajayi (1996), Moupfouma (1985) and Ojo and Global rain rate and rain attenuation prediction models have Omotosho (2013). been developed to predict rain rate and rain attenuation at Satellite system design requires as input 1-minute rain rate various locations. These models have not been applied and data with various exceedance probabilities. Based on this tested with measured data to determine their prediction many researchers have conducted experiments on their local accuracy in the Ghanaian tropical region. In this paper, the climatological regions to measure 1-minute rain rate and Moupfouma and International Telecommunication Union attenuation. In regions where there are enough data coverage, Recommendation (ITU-R) rain rate models were applied and prediction models have been proposed.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract That Most Perfidious Institution is a study of Africans - slaves and slave owners - and their central roles in both the expansion of slavery in the early nineteenth century and attempts to reform servile relationships in the late nineteenth century. The pivotal place of Africans can be seen in the interaction between indigenous slave-owning elites (aristocrats and urban Euro-African merchants), local European administrators, and slaves themselves. My approach to this problematic is both chronologically and geographically comparative. The central comparison between Senegal and the Gold Coast contrasts the varying impact of colonial policies, integration into the trans-Atlantic economy; and, more importantly, the continuity of indigenous institutions and the transformative agency of indigenous actors.
