Ghana on the Go, African mobility in the age of transport

Jennifer Hart's "Ghana on the Go" is a historical account of motor transportation in Ghana throughout the 20th century.

The book challenges Western-centric narratives of automobility, highlighting how African entrepreneurs used motor vehicles for economic autonomy and social change.

Hart's research emphasizes the contextual nature of technology, arguing that meaning is derived from use rather than inherent properties.

The book explores the evolution of transportation in Ghana, from early motor vehicles to the contemporary landscape.

It offers valuable insights into the interplay between technology, culture, and society in a non-Western context.
