Thus, it is African history written by an African king and his assistants. This is, without a doubt, a very important document for historians of Africa. It has too a much wider resonance at the present time: here the Asante 'voice' is speaking directly to all those across the globe who claim ancestral links to the African continent, and who are still engaged in the struggle to define, to strengthen and to assert their identities in a world that long discounted the value, or even the existence, of their historical experience.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: African history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on African history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22African%20history%20%5BHBJH%5D%22\"\u003eHBJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52475087814936,"sku":"9780197267028","price":109.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197267028.jpg?v=1785804487","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/%ca%bbhistory-of-ashanti%ca%bc-by-otumfuo-nana-osei-agyeman-prempeh-ii-hardback-9780197267028","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
