Editorial Review:
This is a careful study of the administration and government of the West African kingdom of Asante between 1744 and 1873. Yarak analyzes the nature and development of the pre-colonial state, and traces the history and character of the Asante-Dutch relationship. Drawing on extensive research in previously neglected Dutch archives, as well as on important Asante oral sources, this book broadens our knowledge of the complexities of Afro-European relations on the pre-colonial Gold Coast, and contributes to wider historiographical debates over our understanding of African institutions. |
