Our days dwindle : memories of my childhood days in Asante
"T. E. Kyei's memoirs trace his early childhood in Ghana during the opening decades of the 20th century. The autobiography demonstrates this consummate cultural translator's ability to both intuit the questions raised by those unfamiliar with Asante culture and also seamlessly weave answers to such questions into his narrative. The detail on social and material life contained in Kyei's memoirs is unparalleled in the scholarly literature on Asante. His writings open up fundamental questions about the production (and producers) of historical knowledge about African societies and they will surely inspire a major reassessment of the categories Africanist scholars have used in their studies of African societies."--Jacket
