In Northern Ghana migration is of topical interest since an increasing number of young men and women move towards the southern cities in response to harsh economic and climatic conditions in the northern regions. Large parts of the compound houses are abandoned. During their absence or upon their return the migrants build new rooms in expensive materials and with new designs, as witnesses of their partaking in a larger, so-called 'modern' world. In this paper I focus on seasonal as well as permanent national migration among the Kasena people. I explicitly take up the point of view of those who stay behind in the homelands. Field research was carried out in the rural areas of the Upper East Region of Ghana. This contribution discusses the migratory movements in the light of mental geographies and their socio-cultural and material implications for dwelling and belonging in rural compound houses. |
