Home was Uncomfortable; School was Hell

A Confessionalist-ethnographic Account of Belief Systems and Socio-educational Crisis in the Schooling of Ghanaian Rural Girls

By: Cecilia Sem Obeng

Ghana has faced strong gender bias inside its educational institutions since gaining independence from Britain. This prejudice is fuelled by the legacy of the colonial powers, nurtured by Ghana's traditional anti-female beliefs, and made worse by various social crises and irresponsible politicians. These factors combine to limit girls' educational experiences, keeping females in complete submission to males. Many of the studies done on girls' education have focused on comparing the student population of girls and boys, but this book looks at the role played by societal belief systems and socio-educational and economic crises impacting girls' schooling. The author tells about the problems Ghanaian girls face through her own memories as a child and as a teacher in Ghanaian school. This book uses case studies of four girls who dropped out of school and their families and teachers to further the understanding of gender issues faced by Ghana in particular and educational systems in general.

Health Issues in Diverse Cultures

By: Cecilia Sem Obeng

In this book, we present research on health issues in diverse cultures and especially research around immigrants who came to the United States from diverse backgrounds. Hispanic and Asian Americans make up the fastest growing sector of the United States population and immigrants are often unable to access, seek, or receive health care due to several barriers. Research and also clinical experience have found that recent immigrants who migrate to the United States frequently experience a lack of access, high costs, and difficulty obtaining medical insurance along with barriers such as access to information, cultural or linguistic obstacles, and an inability to understand the healthcare system. Therefore in this book, we have tried to gain a better understanding for the readers of the experiences that immigrants undergo in the healthcare system through several research projects presented herein

Children's Health in a Traditional Society

By: Cecilia Sem Obeng

This book is about children's health care in traditional societies in Ghana. The book pays a close and systematic attention to how rural Ghanaians take care of their children's health needs. In particular, the study principally examines my primary research conducted in Ghana about how children, especially new-born babies, are cared for in general and during times of sickness. The book also pays special attention to disease causation in children and beliefs that influence and/or impact the curing of children afflicted with diseases. The study done for this book may be considered a prelude in the study of children's health care research. It therefore aims at setting the scene for an interdisciplinary research on children's health from both an anthropological as well as a social scientific perspective.
