About the Book

Through a historical sketch that depicts the traditional practices and beliefs of the Akan speaking people of modern Ghana, the play recounts the migration of the Akans from a geographical area of the Sahel region in the Sahara Desert to Krako, present day Techiman, where they founded the Bonoman Kingdom. Having settled at Krako for over three centuries, a dispute arose over the rightful owner of a black royal stool called "Kasagua," which embodied the spirits of their ancestors. The dispute caused a break away in 1400 AD that resulted in two major speaking dialects, namely Fante and Asante; which have their roots in the first tonal language spoken by the Akan people called Twi. It led to the formation of the present day Fante and Asante Kingdoms of Ghana.
