  abstract: In this comparative work of sociology, Adjepong examines the aspirations of a diverse group of Ghanaians who moved to the United States, those who returned to Ghana after years in the United States, Western Europe or the United Kingdom and those who have always made their lives in Ghana. In doing so, Adjepong provides a new way to understand how a select group of upwardly mobile Africans collectively and individually demonstrate their belonging as global citizens. The author takes care to place an emphasis on intersectionality, with a particular focus on sexuality, sexual politics and popular culture, which opens up space for an engagement with African lives as complex and complicated, a correction to the simplistic Western view of Ghanaians and Africans writ large. Adjepong's examination of class-privileged Africans brings this understudied cohort to the forefront by acknowledging their experiences and, in turn, offers a more fully realized understanding of the diversity of African lives.
