| Publisher Description: Apart from tracing the history of the Ada people in Ghana, this second edition of The Making of Ada puts the record right about the correct origins of the Kabiawetsu dynasty and the Ocansey family. It also includes a narrative about how townships like Ada Foah, Sege, Nakomkope and Goi came into being. The rich Ada culture is described in full detail, for example, the swearing of oaths and the troubling chieftaincy disputes as well as the ownership struggles over the Songor lagoon. This handy book will make a great resource for scholars and students of history, sociology, anthropology and political science and interesting reading for the curious reader thirsty for knowledge about the Ada people in general. |
