Description The term ‘stool’ was coined by the British to describe the intricately carved wooden seats of the Akan which serve as symbols of political office and ritual observance. These ‘stool’ histories are the histories of political offices within the Asante Kingdom's bureaucracy and the people who, through inheritance or appointment, occupied them from the inception of the state in the late 17th century to late 20th century. Existing primarily in oral form, the histories of these offices were collected and translated by Joseph Agyeman-Duah and Ivor Wilks.

Agyeman-Duah Date: 29th February, 1964 Subj ect: ADWUMAKAASI STOOL HISTORY Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, Legon; September, 1964 Classification: Inf ormats: ADWUMAKAISI STOOL HISTORY Adjumakaase is a village 12 miles from Kumasi on the KumasiMampong road. The Adwumakaasi-hene swears to the Asantehene with the Mponponsuo sword, this is a principal sword of the King used by the heads of the component states of the Ashanti Union, and other senior Chiefs in swearing the oath of allegiance to the Asantehene. Although the Ajumakaase stool belongs to the Gyase Division of the King it is also a stool of matrilineal descent and comes under the category of the Oyoko Abohyen Clan of the King. It is, however, to be noted that the Oyoko clan of the King or to be more classical the Qyoko Kuduo of the King is classified under three heads, namely 0yoko Abohyen, Oyoko Atutue and Oyoko Bremang. The Ancestor of this stool is said to have been Nana Asenso Kofu from Juaben. He was the Chief of Ano at Juaben. It so happened that Nana Juabenhene's stool Dependant by name Owari committed adultery with Nana Asenso Kufo's wife Kwaah. This woman Kwaah having made the necessary confession to her husband Nana Asenso Kufo, the matter was accordingly reported to the then Juabenhene Nana Akuamoah to weigh the pros and cons of it. And the Juabenhene it is said having determined the matter upon the academic tribunal of the Juaben state ordered that Nana Asenso Kufo be pacified with an adultery fee (Ntansa) Z8 x 3 = X2. This Chief Asenso Kufo it is said refused to accept the said fee but rather wanted capital punishment to be meted on the adulterator. The Juabenhene further ruled that it was a complete violation of custom to allow Owari the adulterator through his stool Dependant, to be killed in cold blood for such an offence. Consequently Nana Asenso Kufo became infuriated as to the -ruling of Juabenhene and thought of shooting the adulterator Owari at an open field. The two sisters of Nana Asenso Kufo, namely Afro Taada and Agyapa Gyamfi heard of this wicked and preposterous act meted to their brother raised a strong objection as to this shooting incident which might have brought some constitutional crises in the Juaben state. Nana Asenso Kufo being adamant about the matter migrated from Juaben state with his beloved wife Kwaawedie including the two sisters Afre Taada and Agyapa Gyamfi. It is said that on the first day of their exodus they landed at a village called Hemang thence to Kumasi and reported the whole incident to King Osei Tutu, the founder of the Ashanti Nation. The King it is said ordered that Bantamahene or the Krontihene should go home with the said immigrants and be responsible for them. The Bantamahene it is said was Accustomed to the celebration of the Mmuruhuo Festival in the old days and as custom demanded all those who serve as members to the Bantama stool were to smear themselves with white clay, but this Chief it is said considered such act to be impolitic on his part to smear himself with such white clay thus hallanging the Banlamahene- - 2 On the other hand this Chief prevaricated and told the Bantamahene that he was not interested in the worship of fetishism.

Downloaded On 2021/09/29 21:13:19 -0400 Negotiating Elder Care in Akuapem, Ghana: Care-Scripts and the Role of Non-Kin Cati Coe1 Abstract. In contemporary Ghana, adult children are considered responsible for the care of aged parents. Within this idealized framework, two aspects of elder care are overlooked. First, such a narrative obscures the role of non-kin and extended kin in providing elder care in southern Ghana historically and in the present. Secondly, it hides the negotiations over obligations and commitments between those who manage elder care and those who help with an aging person’s daily activities. It is in this latter role in which non-kin and extended kin are significant in elder care, while closer kin maintain their kin roles through the more distant management, financial support, and recruitment of others. This paper examines recruitment to elder care and the role of kin and non-kin in elder care in three historical periods—the 1860s, the 1990s, and the 2000s— centered on Akuapem, in southern Ghana.

    Family Histories from the Banda Traditional Area, Brong-Ahafo

    Family Histories from the Banda Traditional Area, Brong-Ahafo Region, Ghana 1986 Recorded by: Ann Stahl, Assistant Professor Department of Anthropology State University of New York, Binghamton Binghamton, NY USA Translated by: James Anane, Project Director Nafaanra Literacy Project Banda-Ahenkro Brong-Ahafo Region, Ghana First Circulated 1989 Reissued with Photos & Additional Histories 2011 DEDICATION This collection is dedicated to the elderly people and Elders of Banda -- those remarkable men and women who are repositories of stories about the past. The people of Banda have in their midst individuals who are exceptional sources of information about the history of the Banda peoples. Most of these people are elderly, and it is hoped that the younger generations of Banda will pause to listen, to take notice and remember the traditons of previous generations. i A Note on 2011 Reissue of “Family Histories from the Banda Traditional Area” Most of the family histories in this volume were first circulated in a typescript booklet produced in 1989 based on interviews conducted as part of a family history project conducted with the research assistance of Mr. James Anane in 1986. The archaeological project that followed our family history research has now spanned more than two decades. While in Banda conducting archaeological research in 2009, I was asked by individuals in the community if it would be possible to reissue the family history booklet because the original printing had limited circulation and many of the original copies lost or misplaced. Over the years while pursuing archaeological research, additional families had requested that their family histories be included if a revised version of the booklet was ever produced.

    Evidence from Ghanaian Railways∗

    Colonial Investments and Long-Term Development in Africa: Evidence from Ghanaian Railways∗ Remi JEDWABa Alexander MORADIb a Department of Economics, George Washington University, and STICERD, London School of Economics b Department of Economics, University of Sussex This Version: October 14th, 2012 Abstract: What is the impact of colonial public investments on long-term development? We investigate this issue by looking at the impact of railway construction on economic develop- ment in Ghana. Two railway lines were built by the British to link the coast to mining areas and the hinterland city of Kumasi. Using panel data at a fine spatial level over one century (11x11 km grid cells in 1891-2000), we find a strong effect of rail connectivity on the pro- duction of cocoa, the country’s main export commodity, and development, which we proxy by population and urban growth. First, we exploit various strategies to ensure our effects are causal: we show that pre-railway transport costs were prohibitively high, we provide ev- idence that line placement was exogenous, we find no effect for a set of placebo lines, and results are robust to instrumentation and nearest neighbor matching. Second, transportation infrastructure investments had large welfare effects for Ghanaians during the colonial period. Colonization meant both extraction and development in this context. Third, railway con- struction had a persistent impact: railway cells are more developed today despite a complete displacement of rail by other means of transport. We investigate the various channels of path dependence, including demographic growth, industrialization or infrastructure investments.

  • Din to the Akan Naming Ceremony

    Din to the Akan Naming Ceremony

    “Odenkyem da nsuo mu nso ohome mframa” “The Crocodile lives in water, but breathes air not water” (know your identity, know your function) Din To The Akan Naming Ceremony The name is an essential component of the spiritual anatomy of the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) person. It confirms identity. Thus, from time immemorial Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) have taught, with respect to the sacredness of the name, "Truly, without a name the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) human does not exist." The name is a group of sounds---sounds/vibrations grouped together in a unique way. Power from the sounds/vibrations of a properly given name moves throughout the spirit of the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) person when heard or spoken. The spirit responds to this power, stirring within the person an awareness of their unique purpose in life and of the potential they possess to carry out that purpose. As the purpose of one's life is given to him or her by The Supreme Being before birth, we recognize our unique purpose, our destiny in Creation, to be a divine purpose, a divine destiny. We define our purpose, our destiny, as the divine function we are to execute in this world. Thus the name, the power-carrying indicator of our divine function, has always been and continues to be most sacred to us. When heard or spoken, it aligns us with our Divine nature. It is within this context that the naming ceremonies of Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) people must be viewed. The din to (naming ceremony) of the Akan people of West Afuraka/Afuraitkait (Africa) is expressive of these principles.
  • Government Denies Existence of Political Prisoners

    Government Denies Existence of Political Prisoners

    August 12, 1991 Ghana Government Denies Existence of Political Prisoners Minister Says Detainees "Safer" in Custody Introduction Ghana's ruling Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC), chaired by Flt. Lt. Jerry Rawlings, has claimed -- for the third time in as many years -- that Ghana has no political prisoners. In a radio interview on May 31, Secretary for Foreign Affairs Obed Asamoah, argued that some detainees -- whom he characterized as "subversives" -- are being kept in custody for their own good. He added that if they were brought to trial, they would be convicted and executed. The first claim is deliberately misleading. Africa Watch knows of the existence of a number of detainees incarcerated in Ghana, though it is difficult to estimate the exact number in the light of government denials. One group -- of ten detainees -- was moved to different prisons on the same day -- January 14, 1991. One member of this group is known to have been held without charge or trial since November 1982. Their detentions have never been officially explained. The minister's argument that detainees are better protected in custody amounts to a manifest presumption of guilt, and makes it unlikely that any detainee in Ghana can now receive a fair trial. The government's denial is also contradicted by the publication on May 30 of a list of 76 "political prisoners and other detainees" by the opposition Movement for Freedom and Justice (MFJ). According to the MFJ's information at the time, none of the 76 had been charged or tried. The PNDC Secretary for the Interior, Nana Akuoku Sarpong, has characterized the list as a mixture of "lies and half truths," calculated to discredit the government.

  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana

    Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana

    Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana Small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) serve as the main or additional source of income for more than three million Ghanaians and can be broadly categorised into wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services. Many of these SMFEs are informal, untaxed and largely invisible within state forest planning and management. Pressure on the forest resource within Ghana is growing, due to both domestic and international demand for forest products and services. The need to improve the sustainability and livelihood contribution of SMFEs has become a policy priority, both in the search for a legal timber export trade within the Voluntary Small and Medium Partnership Agreement (VPA) linked to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and in the quest to develop a national Forest Enterprises strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This sourcebook aims to shed new light on the multiple SMFE sub-sectors that in Ghana operate within Ghana and the challenges they face. Chapter one presents some characteristics of SMFEs in Ghana. Chapter two presents information on what goes into establishing a small business and the obligations for small businesses and Ghana Government’s initiatives on small enterprises. Chapter three presents profiles of the key SMFE subsectors in Ghana including: akpeteshie (local gin), bamboo and rattan household goods, black pepper, bushmeat, chainsaw lumber, charcoal, chewsticks, cola, community-based ecotourism, essential oils, ginger, honey, medicinal products, mortar and pestles, mushrooms, shea butter, snails, tertiary wood processing and wood carving.
