Between the Sea & the Lagoon: An ECO-Social History of the Anlo of Southeastern Ghana : c. 1850 to Recent Times - Western African Studies
Professor Emmanuel Kwaku Akyeampong
This study offers a ?social interpretation of environmental process? for the coastal lowlands of southeastern Ghana. The Anlo-Ewe, sometimes hailed as the quintessential sea fishermen of the West African coast, are a previously non-maritime people who developed a maritime tradition. As a fishing community the Anlo have a strong attachment to their land. In the twentieth century coastal erosion has brought about a collapse of the balance between nature and culture. The Anlo have sought spiritual explanations but at the same time have responded politically by developing broader ties with Ewe-speaking peoples along the coast.
