| Abstract
|
:
|
Ghana is an English-speaking country surrounded by French-speaking neighbors. It is the first African country to gain independence and the first to experience military takeovers. Ghana has political stability in a sea of political chaos. It is also a rich, gold-mining country that is currently a highly indebted poor country. Few places on earth can match the turbulent history, golden culture, or promising future of this beatiful country of less that 20 million people. This book tells the story of this country that was a major source of slaves to the United State, and the birthplace of the United Nations /Secretary-General and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Kofi Annan. In these pages you will relive Ghana's history and experience its warm hospitality.
