Description
The rising fervor of nationalism in post-colonial Ghana culminated in hatred
of foreigners and fear of alien control of economic enterprises. As a result of
this growing anti-alien sentiment, all aliens without valid residence permits
were expelled from Ghana in late 1969. The purpose of alien expulsion was to
increase domestic employment by offering to Ghanaians the positions previously
held by aliens.
This thesis examines the economic logic of alien expulsion. Certain assumptions
had to have been made in order for alien expulsion to increase domestic
employment. Each of these assumptions is examined to see if it accurately depicted
the conditions it described. The results of alien expulsion are then examined
in light of the logic set up by this thesis.
