Description

Book Synopsis
A history of Asante from the late 17th century to the 1930s, authorized and produced by the 12th Asantehene Osei Agyeman Prempeh II. Perhaps the single longest historical work produced by a ruler of any sub-Saharan African society, this is an indigenous account of the three hundred year history of a still vigorous African polity.

Trade Review
This is a work and an edition which deserves to be regarded as a great contribution to the historical study of not just Asante but also of the Akan world. * Richard Rathbone, School of Oriental and African Studies, London *
