    About this ebook

    Africa’s Cultural Prince, Dr. A.A.Y. Kyerematen of Ghana is a biographical study of Ghana-born cultural anthropologist, Dr. A.A.Y. Kyerematen. In this in-depth biography, the co-authors explore Dr. Kyerematen’s childhood, young adulthood, and education at Sierra Leone-based Fourah Bay College, the University of Durham, University of Oxford, and the University of Cambridge. The book examines how overseas travel influenced his early professional interests, his government-appointed cabinet position, and the development of the Ghana National Culture Center. His personal life is touched upon as well, including his marriage and the impressive lives of his six children. Upon his death in 1976, Dr. Kyerematen was honored with a national funeral before his royal burial in his small town of Pataasi (or Pataase) in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
