Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 May 2011
Abstract
In the last twenty years the number of smiths and the range of their activity have greatly increased in Tamale, the principal city of northern Ghana. The evolution of the national economy and the particular situation of Tamale in the geography of Ghana explain this development and the contribution that the city's smiths make to the economy, national as well as local.
Au cours des vingt dernières années, le nombre de forgerons et l'éventail de leurs activités ont considérablement augmenté à Tamale, principale ville du Nord du Ghana. L'évolution de l'économie nationale et la situation particulière de Tamale dans la géographie du Ghana expliquent ce développement et la contribution des forgerons de la ville à l'économie locale, mais aussi nationale.
