Scholarship on the West African kingdom of Asante is at the leading
edge of Africanist research. In this book, T.C. McCaskie gives a
detailed and richly nuanced historical portrait of pre-colonial
Asante. His delineation of state and society in Asante in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is centred on an extended
analysis of the crucial ritual of the annual Kumase odwira
festival. It is at once a profound historical reconstruction of an
African polity, and a deeply informed meditation on key Asante
concepts and ideas. Throughout the book, the Asante experience is
consistently discussed in relation to a broad range of
historiography and critical theory.
