While Sabon Zongo is clearly part of the larger urban landscape of Accra, it is also culturally distinct, representing the melding of a migrant Hausa ethos, informed by Islam, its values and its institutions, and the metropolitan knowledge shared by all city dwellers. The author explores the interconnections of community residents to one another both in terms of built space-the boundaries of community, community structures, and compounds-and social space-the social networks, institutions, activities, and routines through which Sabon Zongo residents reproduce meaning as constituted by and in their built environment. There is no body of data similar to this study's both in breadth and depth of understanding relating to this particular urban community. Much of the material has never been published. Both theoretically and substantively, this book makes a unique contribution to the literature on African urban life. Written in a clear, open style, this book will appeal to specialists and interested general readers alike. 606 $aHuman territoriality$zGhana$zAccra 606 $aSpatial behavior$zGhana$zAccra 606 $aHausa (African people)$zGhana$zAccra$xSocial conditions 606 $aMuslims$zGhana$zAccra$xSocial conditions 607 $aAccra (Ghana)$xHistory 607 $aAccra (Ghana)$xSocial conditions 615 0$aHuman territoriality 615 0$aSpatial behavior 615 0$aHausa (African people)$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMuslims$xSocial conditions. 676 $a306/.09667 700 $aPellow$b Deborah$f1945-$0244358 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963551803321 996 $aLandlords and lodgers$94341447 997 $aUNINA
