Spirit Children: Illness, Poverty, and Infanticide in Northern Ghana - Africa and the Diaspora: History, Politics, Culture
Aaron R. Denham
Refusing to generalize or oversimplify, Aaron R. Denham offers an ethnographic study of the spirit child phenomenon in Northern Ghana that considers medical, economic, religious, and political realities. He examines both the motivations of the families and the structural factors that lead to infanticide, framing these within the context of global public health.
