Forests of Gold Essays on the Akan and the Kingdom of Asante

"This book assembles the most important articles that Ivor Wilks has written since the publication of his monumental study, 'Asante in the Nineteenth Century' (1975)...the volume does usefully restate Wilks's interpretation of the historical trajectory of Akan (chiefly Asante) society from the fifteenth to the end of the nineteenth century....The book is beautifully produced, with an abundance of meaningful photographs, prints and maps. 'Forests of Gold' is a valuable complement to Wilks's earlier book and any self-respecting bookshelf should carry a copy."Wilks, Ivor is the author of 'Forests of Gold Essays on the Akan and the Kingdom of Asante' with ISBN 9780821411353 and ISBN 0821411357.
