History of Ashanti by Otumfuo Nana Osei Agyeman Prempeh II is a monumental historical account of one of West Africa’s most powerful and sophisticated pre-colonial states—Asante (Ashanti). What sets this work apart is its authorship: this is African history written by an African monarch, making it one of the rare instances where a king and his assistants provide a direct narrative of their own kingdom’s past.
The book delivers a rich, authoritative voice from within the Ashanti royal palace. It presents not just a chronological history, but a deeply reflective and cultural commentary on the origins, struggles, governance, diplomacy, and identity of the Ashanti people. It also speaks to descendants of the African diaspora and to all those reclaiming their cultural identities worldwide.
