In doing so, Adjepong provides a new way to understand how a select group of upwardly mobile Africans collectively and individually demonstrate their belonging as global citizens. The author takes care to place an emphasis on intersectionality, with a particular focus on sexuality, sexual politics, and popular culture, which opens up space for an engagement with African lives as complex and complicated--a correction to the simplistic Western view of Ghanaians and Africans writ large. Adjepong's examination of class-privileged Africans brings this understudied cohort to the forefront by acknowledging their experiences and, in turn, offers a more fully realized understanding of the diversity of African lives"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Ghanaians |zUnited States |xSocial conditions |y21st century. |=^A773380 650 0 Ghanaians |zForeign countries |xSocial conditions |y21st century. |=^A862588 650 0 Return migrants |zGhana |xSocial conditions |y21st century. |=^A1194735 651 0 Ghana |xSocial conditions |y21st century. |=^A42038 650 7 Social conditions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 Ghana. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01208741 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 2000-2099 |2fast 776 08 |iebook version : |z9781469665214 949 |i30372017359727 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s29.95 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5789849
