Aloneness and the terms of detachment in West African migration

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In this article, I examine practices of social detachment among West African migrants in urban Ghana.

It draws on ìtàn, a distinct oral source, to show that conjugality shaped Yoruba processes of urbanisation and political centralisation, gendered divisions of labour and social innovation and creativity.
