About the Book

This book is the first compilation of its kind that brings together discussions of the evolution of scholarship in different branches of the Social Sciences. It presents a comprehensive multi-disciplinary text exploring the changing dynamics of the Social Sciences in Ghana, offering a broader perspective from which to view the evolution, theory, methods, substance and relevance of each of the Social Science disciplines and their multiple interfaces. The introduction and the conclusion are devoted to the theoretical, comparative and empirical debate over the Social Sciences from historical and analytical perspectives. Written by acknowledged experts, the 15 chapters span the following disciplines: Archaeology and Heritage Studies; History; Geography; Psychology; Sociology and Anthropology; Social Work; Economics; Political Science; International Affairs; Information Studies; Communication Studies; African Studies; Development Studies; Women’s and Gender Studies and Adult and Continuing Education. Changing Perspectives on the Social Sciences in Ghana offers sophisticated perspectives for comparing and appreciating the synergies, differences, trends and nuances among and between the Social Science disciplines in Ghana, in a holistic and scholarly manner.

Review :
With contributions from the leading social scientists in Ghana today, this important volume details the history of the foundational social scientific disciplines, explores the current state of disciplinary knowledge production, and sets out a series of bold agendas for future research.  This is a “must read” not only for students and scholars of the social sciences, but for those with an interest in the evolution of higher education, and in the powerful interplay between the social sciences and the development of public policy. Jean Allman Professor, Department of History J.H. Hexter Professor in the Humanities and Director, Center for the Humanities Washington University in Saint Louis
