5In My Father's HouseHypatia 11 (1): 175-201. 1996.Judeo-Christian and Anglo-Saxon forms of marriage have injected patrilineal values and companionate expectations into the Akan matrilineal family structure. As Anthony Appiah demonstrates, these infusions have generated severe strains in the matrikin social structures and, in extreme cases, resulted in the break up of families. In this essay, I investigate the ideological politics at play in this patrilinealization of Asante society

Wereldburgers?Nexus 26. 2000.Appiah onderzoekt in zijn essay het kosmopolitische respect voor verschillen en wat dit respect vereist 'wanneer we verwikkeld zijn in morele debatten die over de grenzen tussen de naties heen reiken'. Volgens Appiah kunnen kosmopolieten al een wereldburgerschap laten gelden zonder dat daar enige verandering van de politieke instituties aan te pas komt: mede-wereldburgerschap kan al in praktijk gebracht worden zonder veranderingen op institutioneel niveau af te wachten.
