No references found | Huge colourful umbrellas bobbed around in the energetic crowd, the talking drums throbbed as though we were back in ancient times, the ladies were at their dressiest, even the sun did not want to be left out, and when the Asantehene (the King of Asante) Otumfuo Osei Tutu II entered the Baba Yara Stadium in the centre of Kumasi, the Asante capital, borne aloft in his magnificently decorated palanquin, the roar from 30,000 or so throats would have taken the roof off the stadium if there were one. It had been a gift from the Asantehene brought by the king's envoy on the occasion of the agreement for the Asante to supply one thousand workers to the Dutch. In a philosophically-motivated account of African cultural identity giving specific attention to "traditional" and "modern" conceptions of authority in Ghana, Kwame Anthony Appiah has contended that the subordination of Asantehene to colonial authority was not as extreme as the colonial experience might have suggested. |
