Description

The Akans are an ethnic group in West Africa, predominantly Ghana and Togo, of roughly 25 million people.

From the twelfth century on, Akans created numerous states based largely on gold mining and trading of cash crops.

This brought wealth to numerous Akan states, such as Akwamu, which stretched all the way to modern Benin, and ultimately led to the rise of the best known Akan empire, the Empire of Ashanti.

Throughout history, Akans were a highly educated group; notable Akan people in modern times include Kwame Nkrumah and Kofi Annan.

This volume features a new array of primary sources that provide fresh and nuanced perspectives.

This collection is the first of its kind.
