Aborigines' Rights Protection Society
- Aborigines' Rights Protection Society
Aborigines' Rights Protection Society (ARPS) was an association critical of colonial rule, formed in 1897 in the Gold Coast, as Ghana was known.
Originally formed by traditional leaders and the educated elite to protest the Crown Lands Bill of 1896 and the Lands Bill of 1897 that threatened traditional land tenure, the Aborigines' Rights Protection Society became the main political organisation that led organised and sustained opposition against the Colonial Government, laying the foundation for political action that would ultimately lead to Ghanaian independence[ [http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/ghtoc.html "Ghana - Early Manifestations of Nationalism"] , "Library of Congress A Country Study: Ghana] [Nti, Kwaku, [http://www.njas.helsinki.fi/pdf-files/vol11num1/nti.pdf "Action and Reaction: An Overview of the Ding Dong Relationship between the Colonial Government and the People of Cape Coast"] , Nordic Journal of African Studies 11(1): 1-37 (2002)] .]References
