The Quills of the Porcupine: Asante Nationalism in an Emergent Ghana

From Book News, Inc.
A study of the Asante National Liberation Movement, which in the 1950s fought for self-determination for the Asante nation as Kwame Nkrumah and his party sought to establish a unitary government in newly decolonized Ghana. The movement has generally been considered a tribal and parochial ghost of the past, a passing aberration in western Africa, but in fact seriously threatened the stability of the government and scored some of the contours of the country's subsequent history. Paper edition (unseen), $24.95. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
