This book presents a broad analytical framework for the history of
southeastern Ghana within the context of a representative study of
one of the country's most important political and economic forces.
The 150,000 Krobo are the most numerous of the Adangme-speaking
peoples. They are located in the mountains just inland from the
coast and are the fourth largest ethnic group in the country.
During the nineteenth century they were one of the small states of
the Gold Coast in the formative stages of political and cultural
development. After the middle of the nineteenth century they became
economically and politically one of the most important groups in
the country because of their dominant role in commercial production
of export crops.
Historical research on Ghana has produced mostly case studies of
the large, centralized Akan states. Wilson's study is an account of
one of the smaller societies without which a history of Ghana would
be incomplete.
