Originally published in 1972 this study analyses the process of economic growth and social change in the riparian communities of the Lower Volta River in Ghana, which came about in large part due to the construction of the Volta dam in 1963.

Such influences began to erode the hitherto unquestioned acceptance of traditional institutions and the stability and security they offered.
