Episode Synopsis "When the Diaspora Return Part II - Ghana’s Image vs Reality"

Last episode, we spoke about Ghana’s Year of Return and how the diaspora can recreate colonial power dynamics by overlooking class politics and their privilege. Today we revisit the topic with the insightful and outspoken Nana Ama Agyemang Asante (@JustNanaAma), a Ghanaian journalist who was co-host of one of the most popular radio shows in Ghana. Inflation, tax hikes, and IMF debt negotiations have gripped Ghana’s economy whilst the government is marketing the country as a prosperous haven for the diaspora. Why must the diaspora understand the specific political landscape they're relocating to and how can this alleviate rather than worsen present issues?
