This is a study of the administration and government of the West
African kingdom of Asante between 1744 and 1873. Larry W. Yarak
analyses the nature and development of the pre-colonial state, and
traces the history and character of the Asante-Dutch relationship
from the early eighteenth century until the Dutch departure from
the Gold Coast in 1872. Dr Yarak has carried out extensive
researches in hitherto neglected Dutch archives, and made a
detailed examination of important Asante oral sources. His book
broadens our knowledge of the complexities of Afro-European
relations on the pre-colonial Gold Coast, and contributes to wider
historiographical debates concerning our understanding of African
institutions. Asante and the Dutch is a substantial and original
contribution to the history of a powerful imperial African state in
the period before the European `Scramble' for Africa.
