dc.description.abstractCulture as a collective norm behooves members of a community whose identity is related to adherence to a specific culture, thus guaranteeing a cultural preservation and protection. In other words, there is a marked-off conservatism in any community where identity is related to culture which acts as a blockade that prohibits the intrusion of aspects that are considered anti-cultural. Culture can then be described as a structure that developed out of the collective consciousness of a society whose members wanted to' invent' and identify with all aspects of a culture. Anowa is the story about a young woman who wants to marry a man she loves, ignoring her parents ' wishes. The couple gathers fortune after several trials and tribulations-but Anowa knows something is wrong somewhere. In essence, Anowa is an analysis of the contradictions between western cultural individualism and Africa's social traditions. Implications linked to not fulfilling a divine calling are central to this research. Anowa rejects her spiritual calling to become a dancer-priestess, mainly because of the influence of her mother Badua. This paper, however, examined the portrayal and effects of disobedience of Ghanaian youths by juxtaposing both Akan and Ewe cultures as part of literature.en_US
