Beads are a fundamental part of Ghanaian heritage. Not only they testament to the vibrance of Ghanaian creativity, but they also play a significant role in the country's history, rituals and culture.

Koforidua is a town in Eastern Region of Ghana located approximately 80 km from the capital and main commercial centre, Accra. The beads market is believed to have been in existence for over 200 years, previous locations having included open spaces. The current site is a dedicated market facility provided by the local government authority and is a weekly beads and crafts market which happens on a Thursday next to the Koforidua Jubilee Park. Locals are usually happy to give a visitor directions.

The space is filled with a myriad of units varying from shops to open-sided stalls (which look like temporary structures to the visitor) to table top displays. With facilities like these it goes without saying that on a rainy Thursday the market is pretty quiet.

Goods on offer include:

Beads
Beaded jewellery
Jewellery findings
Glass beads raw materials such as broken louvre blades and glass bottles
metal bars,
yarn
wood
leather and cowry bags
brass products and artefacts,
wood carvings and,
And anything else which might interest customers. There will, for example be small food and drinks sellers.

The war against Afrikan centered education

Dr. Josef Ben Levi

Activists in Ghana have launched a legal challenge to stop mining in a protected area.
That is after the government signed a deal with a Chinese company to extract bauxite – a mineral used to make aluminium products.
They say the move threatens the already endangered animals and plants.

In this episode of Back to Africa, I share my shocking experience in Namibia, a country with a deep and painful history of colonization. During my visit, I stayed on a massive 43,000-hectare farm owned by a single German family which purchased the land from descendants of German settlers, who stole the land from the Herero and Nama people. This stark inequality left me outraged and compelled me to dive deeper into Namibia’s colonial past.I explore the horrific role of Lothar von Trotha, the German military officer responsible for orchestrating the Herero and Nama genocide—the first genocide of the 20th century. Through conversations with Germans living in Namibia, I was confronted with a troubling denial of this dark history, raising the question of accountability and reconciliation.This episode sheds light on how Germany has handled—or failed to handle—this chapter of its colonial past. Despite recent attempts at reparations, I question whether the nation has truly learned from history. By examining the effects of land theft and colonial injustice, I invite you to join me in reflecting on what justice and accountability should look like in post-colonial Africa. Watch, learn, and engage with this critical discussion.

⁣In a historic move, President Ibrahim Traoré has launched a massive free land distribution program, granting 80,000 Burkinabe citizens land ownership. This bold initiative is aimed at empowering local communities and reducing poverty. The announcement has sparked excitement across the Sahel.

Dr. Jemima Pierre, born in Gros Morne, Haiti and raised in Miami, Florida, speaks to The Other Narrative about why Haiti is paying a price - 220 years after it yanked Independence from the jaws of colonizers. Dr. Pierre speaks about the resilience of Haitians and their struggle against imperialism - in all of its iterations - and the fact that Haiti's emancipation is part and parcel of the global African/Black emancipation.

Dr. Pierre also speaks about the importance of Haiti to US imperialism; the way the West manufactures narratives; racism in international structures; regional neocolonial countries in service of imperialism; and so much more.

Dr. Jemima Pierre is Professor of Global Race in the Institute of Race, Gender, Sexuality and Social Justice (GRSJ) at the University of British Columbia and a research associate at the Centre for the Study of Race, Gender and Class at the University of Johannesburg.

Trained as a sociocultural anthropologist in the African Diaspora Program at the University of Texas, Austin, her research and teaching engages with Africa and the African diaspora across three broad areas of inquiry: 1) the relationship of political economy to race, as articulated through capitalism, white supremacy, and imperialism; 2) migration, transnationalism, and diaspora; and 3) the ethics and politics of western knowledge production and disciplinary formation.

Dr. Pierre has published widely; her essays and articles have examined the racial history of the discipline of anthropology, race and colonialism, theories of the African diaspora, the cultural politics of racial formation in Africa, Western resource extraction in Africa, and the history and politics of U.S. imperialism in Haiti and the Caribbean.

She is also the author of The Predicament of Blackness: Postcolonial Ghana and the Politics of Race. The Predicament of Blackness was winner of the 2014 Elliot Skinner Book Award in Africanist Anthropology and long listed for the 2013 OCM – BOCAS Literary Prize.

Her next book, titled Of Natives, Ethnics, and True Negroes: A Counter-History of Anthropology, will be published in 2024.

Dr. Thomas Dykstra, Laboratory Director of Dykstra Labs and AEA Scientific Advisor, is a trained entomologist with a vast background in agricultural consulting. For years, Tom has been illuminating farmers to the science behind insect pressure and demonstrating why insects do not—and cannot—attack healthy plants.

In our latest webinar, Dr. Dykstra sits down with John Kempf to explain what constitutes a healthy plant, the machinations of insect digestion, and how to use the Leaf Brix chart as a reference guide for any kind of pest pressure.

When I found this recording it was on a cassette tape and I digitized it from there. During the digitization process with old cassettes, it's not uncommon for the tape to run a bit fast or slow and lead to some speed and pitch distortion. Sometimes, this can be alleviated by altering the speed on Youtube.
