Overview
Based on eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, Oppong uses detailed case studies and over two hundred individual life histories, to explore issues of mobility and identity among this geographically dispersed group. Using perspectives and insights gained from oral life histories, private and public ceremonies, and ethnic associations, the author examines the sites and circumstances in which people profess to being the same or different from one another.
