White|The Akan culture of Ghana in West Africa is well known for its proverbs, and this book provides an extraordinary collection of thousands of those proverbs in the original Twi, plus a direct translation into English, and then an explanation of what it is intended to mean. It gives insight into the culture that may be unique. It is a joy to read through.||This collection will be useful not only for linguists, but for anyone that takes Akan culture seriously, from anthropologists to historians, to cultural critics.... It is a veritable treasure trove. --Ato Quayson, University of Toronto
An invaluable
This is the first Akan/English dictionary that engages an African language in dialogue with other world languages. According to Ngugi wa Thiong o, African languages cannot grow as literary languages unless we develop tools that will enable their effective use in dialogue not only with other European languages but also those of Africa and Asia. This dictionary is an important step in that direction.
