"Focusing on a sub-set of the Dagomba of northern Ghana, this book looks at the first
generation to go through secondary school in the north. After university and post-graduate
education, they relocate to Accra, the capital, hundreds of miles south. They crossed
social and physical space and have become cosmopolitan while holding on to tradition
and attachment to their home town. This bridge generation are patrons to those living
up north. This book charts their path into elite status and argues that they use the
tools gained through education and social connections to influence politics back home"
