Description: "Drawing on evidence from several disciplines, Professor Ann B. Stahl reconstructs the daily lives of Banda villagers of west central Ghana, from the time that they were drawn into the Niger trade (around A. D. 1300) until British rule was established early in the twentieth century. The study is designed to make the case for a closer integration of perspectives drawn from archaeology, history, and anthropology."--BOOK JACKET.
