Contains few inaccuracies though.1 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Highly Inaccurate BookBy AnettaThis book is very misleading and greatly distorts the Ewe people's history. To give an example; it speaks of Akwamu people originated from Notsie same as the Ewe people. This is patently false. The Akwamu are part of the Akan people and have no relationship whatsoever with Ewes.Also the books says there was no Ewe identity before the German Breman mission arrived in 1847. This is so misleading. The Ewes are one continuum (separated by dialect) who spread from the Volta Region of Ghana; includes the people of Togo and Dahomey all the way to Western Nigeria. This has always been the case and it is astonishing the author failed to grasp such basic understanding of the Ewe people and proceeds to put out such distorted and misleading information about a people's history into the public domain.
