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.
