I don't have any literary references offhand that will give you a good
feel for Ghana, but if you have specific, or general, questions, I
can try to answer them directly (I do research in Ghana).

At the most general level, Ghana is a wonderful place to work, the
economy has been improving over the last decade, and it's fairly
safe. Also, if you work inland, the climate, IMO, is wonderful.
