Covering 500 years of Ghana's history, The Ghana Reader provides a
multitude of historical, political, and cultural perspectives on
this iconic African nation. Whether discussing the Asante kingdom
and the Gold Coast's importance to European commerce and
transatlantic slaving, Ghana's brief period under British colonial
rule, or the emergence of its modern democracy, the volume's eighty
selections emphasize Ghana's enormous symbolic and pragmatic value
to global relations. They also demonstrate that the path to fully
understanding Ghana requires acknowledging its ethnic and cultural
diversity and listening to its population's varied voices. Readers
will encounter selections written by everyone from farmers,
traders, and the clergy to intellectuals, politicians, musicians,
and foreign travelers. With sources including historical documents,
poems, treaties, articles, and fiction, The Ghana Reader conveys
the multiple and intersecting histories of Ghana's development as a
nation, its key contribution to the formation of the African
diaspora, and its increasingly important role in the economy and
politics of the twenty-first century.
