Focusing on the process of professionalization of the Ghanaian military, this ethnography based monograph examines both historical and contemporary themes, and assesses the shift in military personnel from ‘Buga Buga’ soldiers – uneducated, lower-class soldiers, human rights abusers – to a more ‘modern’ fighting force.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Humphrey Asamoah AgyekumGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
