Book Description Condition: Gut. 192 S.; Illustrationen (auch farbig); 24,5 cm; kart.; mit farb. illustr. OUmschl. Gutes Ex.; Umschl. minimal berieben. - Englisch. - Aus der Afrika-Sammlung von Dr. H. J. Koloß / Völkerkunde-Museum Berlin; mit Beilagen. - Die Aschanti (auch Asante) sind eine der großen Ethnien in Westafrika. Die Aschanti leben im Gebiet des heutigen Ghana. Sie sprechen Aschanti-Twi, einen Dialekt der Twi-Sprache aus der Gruppe der Akansprachen. Die Aschanti waren eines der wenigen Völker in Afrika, die gegen die europäischen Invasoren ernsthaft Widerstand leisteten. . (wiki) // With 100 monochrome illustrations and 8 pages of colour . / Rich in gold, mighty in battle, sophisticated in art and government, the Asante people evolved a uniquely successful kingdom in nineteenth-century West Africa. From the area around their capital, Kumase, they extended their sway to a large part of what is now Ghana, and their wars with the British brought them fame in Europe as a great warrior people. This book explores the peaceful achievements of the Asante: their splendid gold-working, their elaborate silks and cotton cloth, their fine wood-carving, their witty sayings and proverbs and, of course, the complex social, economic and governmental system which provided the structure within which these arts flourished. The book is illustrated with both nineteenth-century and modern photographs, and by many pieces from the British Museum's vast collections, which contain some of the first Asante objects brought to Europe. .
