Voices of Ghana: Literary Contributions to the Ghana Broadcasting System, 1955-57 (Second Edition)
Ghana’s first radio programme of original literature, Singing Net, began in 1955 as part of the development of a national radio station in the years leading to independence in 1957. Its centralaim was to bring Ghanaian writers to the forefront of cultural programming as part of the Africanisation of radio in Ghana. It was a critical cultural expression of the radical changes that were unfolding across the colonial world. The programme successfully introduced listeners to a series of pioneering Ghanaian authors who would go on to become significant figures of Anglophone West African literature in the early postcolonial decades: Efua Sutherland, Frank Parkes, Amu Djoleto, Geormbeeyi Adali-Mortty, Albert Kayper-Mensah, Kwesi Brew, Cameron Duodu, J.H. Nketia and many others.
The anthology, Voices of Ghana (1958) is a collection of the poetry, short stories, play scripts and critical discussions that were aired on the Gold Coast (later Ghana) Broadcasting System (1954-1958).Both Singing Net and Voices of Ghana were edited by the BBC producer, Henry Swanzy.
The context of Ghana’s independence, the singularity of the anthology’s history, and the significance of many of the writers all contribute to the importance of this text. This second edition is a timely intervention into recent debates within postcolonial studies and world literature on the importance of broadcast culture in the dissemination of “new literatures” from the colonial world. It includes an unabridged version of the 1958 text, a new introduction and footnoted annotations,which draw on extensive research undertaken in Ghana and Britain. It will appeal to a general readership with an interest in Ghanaian literature, 1950s broadcast culture, the figure of Dr Kwame Nkrumah and the making of a national literature in the era of decolonisation, as well as engaging scholars. The new edition presents a deeply insightful and engaging history of Voices of Ghana and reintroduces the original works on the occasion of the anthology’s 60th anniversary.

Emigrant
The unquenchable desire of every young Ghanaian man is to have regular delicious sex and to get a visa to a European or North American country. He would pray fervently to God so long as He owes him his wants. But if enemy spirits, like a dictatorial father, deny him the chance to leave Ghana, he would stay, fleece the country, have more sex, and watch European football. For these desires, he’d make a fetish of the church or the mosque. Joseph Adenera Akolgo was one such young man.

Close Your Circle
“Close Your Circle” is a profound and insightful exploration of the vital importance of discernment and discretion in our relationships and associations. Drawing deeply from biblical principles and profound spiritual wisdom, this transformative piece addresses the critical need for believers to be intentional, discerning, and selectively protective about who they allow into their inner circle. Through Prophet Akosa’s compelling teaching and practical, life-changing guidance, readers are challenged to approach their friendships and relationships with a heightened sense of spiritual discernment. The author underscores the grave dangers of indiscriminately sharing one’s innermost secrets and vulnerabilities emphasizing the necessity of carefully curating the individuals with whom we choose to be truly transparent and open. At the very heart of this impactful book lies the sobering truth that not everyone who claims to be a friend or ally truly has our best interests at heart. Prophet Akosa masterfully equips readers with powerful spiritual tools to identify those toxic, draining, or opportunistic individuals who may seek to exploit our openness for their gain. Alongside this crucial wisdom, the author provides clear guidance on how to establish healthy boundaries that steadfastly protect our God-given destiny and sacred purposes. Ultimately, “Close Your Circle” aims to help readers discern, with piercing clarity, those who are truly worthy of their trust, as opposed to those who may pose a grave threat to the fulfilment of their divine purpose. “Close Your Circle” stands as a timely and transformative read for any believer seeking to navigate the complex landscape of relationships and friendships from a profoundly biblical perspective. This book equips readers with the spiritual insight and practical wisdom needed to position themselves for unprecedented growth, Kingdom impact, and the realization of their God-ordained destiny.

Africa’s Vision: A Second Anthology
In Africa’s Vision: A Second Anthology, Obaze, who deems himself an accidental poet, takes the reader on a journey of eclectic poems, which in the author’s own words are ‘a convenient special-purpose mechanism for the capturing and demythologization of events and people.’
Like most poets, Obaze plays on time and space and even abstracts, as if painting far-flung scenes and scenarios on a subliminal, yet illuminating canvas. Accordingly, his poems unmask in very uncanny ways, humanity, complete with observed foibles. As he underlines, “these poems and odes on human foibles, nature, rebirth, and society, are analogous to doodling done over time. In that context, the canvas is rich and the paintings rendered in very vivid colours are exquisitely captivating.
Africa’s Vision – A Second Anthology, Obaze’s second anthology after Regarscent Past – A Collection of Poems (2015), adds vim to the emerging African voices that resort to poetry to render history and capture events, both sublime and the ridiculous. As the richness of Africa’s oral history and folktales, including moonlight tales, wane, poetry such as this finds both space and salutary coveted niche in Africa’s literary world.
