In this article we present ethnographic research conducted on students taking an Italian language and culture course in Lomé, the capital of Togo. We interacted with the students and participated in their school days. In addition to the interviews, we turned to Focus Groups in order to investigate certain crucial issues. Our research reinforces the idea that migration is a strategy of living, even before surviving, thanks to which many students from West Africa can achieve their desire to learn ...

Theories of nuptiality and family change predict an increasing preference for and tolerance of freedom of partner choice, with a corresponding decrease in the prevalence of consanguineous unions, as part of a universal transition toward a western conjugal family system (e.g., Caldwell, 1982; Goode, 1970, 1982). Western ideas and values ...

abstract This paper seeks to broaden the framework for understanding the many different roles that traditional leaders play in their communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Using data from an original public opinion survey along the Ghana–Togo border, we find that one of the most important roles of the chieftaincy is to maintain law and order: resolving disputes and keeping the community safe from crime. However, we also find considerable variation in what chiefs are expected to do, how effective they ...
