520    After repeated coups and periods of military rule, Ghana 
       is now one of Africa's longest enduring democratic 
       republics. Exiles, Entrepreneurs and Educators compares 
       the political proclivities of two generations of African 
       Americans who moved to Ghana. Author Steven J.L. Taylor 
       blends archival and ethnographic research, including 
       interviews, to provide a unique perspective on these 
       immigrants who chose to leave an economically developed 
       country and settled in an impoverished developing country.
       The first generation consisted of voluntary exiles from 
       the US who arrived from 1957 to 1966, during the regime of
       President Kwame Nkrumah, embracing both Nkrumah and his 
       left-leaning political party. In contrast to the first, 
       many in the second generation left the US to establish 
       commercial enterprises in Ghana. Although they identified 
       with the Democratic Party while living in the US, and were
       politically active, this second generation has for the 
       most part avoided political activity in Ghana while 
       identifying with the Ghanaian party that is modeled after 
       the Republican Party in the US. Taylor helps to dispel 
       some of the incorrect assumptions about African politics 
       and provides readers with an insightful look at how 
       developing nations can embark upon a path toward 
       democratization.--Provided by publisher.
