Kofi DOnkO was a blacksmith and farmer, as well as an important
healer, intellectual, spiritual leader, settler of disputes, and
custodian of shared values for his Ghanaian community. In Our Own
Way in This Part of the World Kwasi Konadu centers DOnkO's life
story and experiences in a communography of DOnkO's community and
nation from the late nineteenth century through the end of the
twentieth, which were shaped by historical forces from colonial
Ghana's cocoa boom to decolonization and political and religious
parochialism. Although DOnkO touched the lives of thousands of
citizens and patients, neither he nor they appear in national or
international archives covering the region. Yet his memory persists
in his intellectual and healing legacy, and the story of his
community offers a non-national, decolonized example of social
organization structured around spiritual forces that serves as a
powerful reminder of the importance for scholars to take their cues
from the lived experiences and ideas of the people they study.
