Abstracts and Reviews : THERAPY, IDEOLOGY, AND SOCIAL CHANGE: MENTAL HEALING IN URBAN GHANA by LEITH MULLINGS. Berkeley: University of California Press. 1984. 251 pages. $29.95

The first part of the book describes the transition from a village community to a capitalist mode of production in Labadi, a neighborhood of Accra, with a population of 26,000. The town was settled in the sixteenth century by Ga-speaking peoples who, until recently, made their living by agriculture and fishing. The social organization of Labadi was (and, nominally, still is) based on lineages, and collectivism and egalitarianism were prominent values. European colonialism reoriented the economy to production of cash crops for export and created new forms of ownership, status, and values. The society became stratified, and today about half of the population of Labadi are &dquo;protoproletariat,&dquo; small-scale producers of goods and services and distributors of commodities.
