{"product_id":"a-new-african-elite-deborah-pellow-9781836954095","title":"A New African Elite: Place in the Making of a Bridge Generation","description":"Focusing on a sub-set of the Dagomba of northern Ghana, this book looks at the first generation to go through secondary school in the north. After university and post-graduate education, they relocate to Accra, the capital, hundreds of miles south. They crossed social and physical space and have become cosmopolitan while holding on to tradition and attachment to their home town. This bridge generation are patrons to those living up north. This book charts their path into elite status and argues that they use the tools gained through education and social connections to influence politics back home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Pellow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836954093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836954095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Deborah Pellow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442951467263,"sku":"9781836954095","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54991207-cfb5-42b8-8594-5df72f30de70.jpg?v=1777200844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-new-african-elite-deborah-pellow-9781836954095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
