Youth Activism in Modern Politics in Ghana - Charles Prempeh
The restlessness in the Ghanaian youth today finds expression in constant street protests and sit-ins. With increasing frustration about lack of job opportunities and bleak future, the compelling urge in the youth is to find 'greener pastures' elsewhere. This book examines four key Ghanaian youths, who, in recent times, have captured the headlines in Ghanaian politics. These are Kwame Bediako (also known as 'Cheddar'), a presidential candidate; Oliver Mawuse Barker-Vormawor, a #Fix The Country campaigner; Ernesto Yeboah, a student leader; and Mahmoud Jajah, a youth leader in the inner cities, otherwise known as the 'Zongos' in Ghana. Students of political science, research scholars and the general public, who are curious about the youth's participation in Ghana's politics today, would find interesting and illuminating insights in this book.
