Author Information

Kate Skinner has a longstanding interest in issues of decolonisation and new nationhood in Africa. Her first book, The Fruits of Freedom in British Togoland (Cambridge University Press, 2015) examined the connections between literacy, formal education and networks of political activism in the Ghana-Togo borderlands. This gave rise to a broader interest in African-authored and African-language texts such as Ablɔɖe, which engaged in the work of nation-building. Kate is now working on West Africa's first coup d'état (which occurred in Togo in 1963) and on gender activism and the reform of family law in post-colonial Ghana. Wilson Yayoh is the Founding Director of the Centre for African and International Studies at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana. His research addresses colonial policy in Africa, ethnicity and national identities, historical perspectives on democratisation in Africa, and Africa in world affairs. Articles by Wilson have been published in the International Journal of Research in the Humanities, the Contemporary Journal of African Studies, the Ibadan Journal of Humanistic Studies, the Journal of History and Cultures, the Ghana Social Science Journal, the Journal of Contemporary African Studies, and the Transactions of the Historical Society of Ghana. He is now working on a monograph entitled Contested Territory: Governing Colonial and Post-Colonial Ewedome (Ghana), c. 1922 to 1974.
