The interview serves as a token memorial to his contributions to African anthropology and Ghana Studies. Information presented herein highlights Goody’s early experiences in the Gold Coast, and also offers a glimpse into the broader ethnographic context under which he worked in the 1950s and 1960s in what are the present-day Upper West and Northern Regions of Ghana.
