Northern Ghana Life

If God breaks your leg, he will teach you how to limp

The photos in this book show that Northern Ghana is a society in continuous change. The images offer a shift in perspective to those who are not acquainted with the region. Foreigners tend to see ‘Africa’ as a backward continent, with persisting traditions that do not give way to modernity and change, plagued by bloody con icts and diseases. Such deep-rooted prejudices narrow one’s perspective. It is only with an open mind that one is able to observe the dynamic realities, such as a rapid incorporation of (mobile) technologies
and a growing middle class with its own particular ambitions. It is only when one appreciates these developments that one can learn from them. The constant change should invite the foreign visitor
to wonder, study, and learn continuously, instead of jumping to conclusions too quickly about what ought to be done to spur development. Northern Ghana has its own, very particular trajectory of development with ample possibility to inspire any visitor.
