Abstract: In this Special Issue of the African Journal of Social Sciences Education(AJSSE), our focus is to interpolate in critical pan-Africanizing and decolonializinganalyses of current cultural undulations with their peaks and valleys in Ghana.These are framed around the praxes of what was, what has been modified, andthe holistic results of the interlocking of change and continuity within specificjoints of Ghanaian culture and heritage. In sum, we argue that Ghanaian culturehas demonstrated both resilience and adaptability in the face of grippingcultic of ‘Modernisation,’ Globalisation, Afropolitanism, Cosmopolitanism,Transnationalism, and Cyber-Worldism. We conclude, among others, that culturalchange and continuity in Ghana have succeeded in accelerating human creativityhence imaginatively blended cultural ethos and idioms. Thus, we assert that fromcritical standpoints, considerable aspects of Ghanaian culture and heritage, likethose of other parts of the globe, are adrift in pursuit of ontological anchoringand aesthetical cosmopolitanizing. In sum, we harness material and temporalfellowship of variables to alchemize cultural change and continuity in Ghana thatare syntheses rather than antitheses.
