This is the first full-length biography of George James Christian.
Originally from Dominica, Christian qualified as a barrister-at-law
in London, participated in the first pan-African conference and
migrated to the Gold Coast in 1902 where he established his home
and a complex extended family. He ensured that his children were
well educated and they followed his tradition of service to the
community. Shortly after his arrival in the Gold Coast, he
established a legal practice that successfully served a wide range
of clients. His friendship with the renowned Dr James K. Aggrey, as
expressed in their correspondence during the establishment of
Achimota College, together with a discussion of the experience of
Christian's children as staff and students there, provide fresh
data on this important Ghanaian institution. The book also sheds
light on Christian's service in the Legislative Council, his role
as honorary consul for Liberia, his involvement as a Freemason,
businessman and philanthropist.
