Diplomacy and Diplomats in 19th Century Asante: Melville J. Herskovits Finalists and Other Outstanding Academic Book

Joseph K. Adjaye

0/5 ( ratings)

This pioneering work remains the only book-length publication on the study of indigenous diplomatic practice in Asante or in any traditional African state. Adjaye concludes that Asante's diplomatic patterns and nuances were akin to diplomatic procedures elsewhere and to "modern" diplomacy as well."Adjaye's well-written and fascinating work adds a new dimension to the sophisticated studies of pre-colonial Asante . One hopes this will not only be read by African specialists but by all who are interested in diplomacy and international relations. The book has an excellent bibliography, a useful glossary of terminology and an index". -- J.E. Flint, Dalhouisie University

"The book breaks new ground in African studies. It gives a new perspective on the nature of Asante, and provides a model for the study of diplomatic practices of other African states in the past. The principles and concepts embodied in Asante diplomatic practices should provide modern African states with valuable lessons". -- E.J. Alagoa, University of Port Harcourt

Pages: 265
