DR. J. B. DANQUAH: ARCHITECT OF MODERN GHANA

About the Book

PRAISE FOR THIS BOOK:

"Highly educative! Dr. J. B. Danquah: Architect of Modern Ghana brings early post-colonial Ghanaian politics full circle, the way it ought to be. Indeed, it is most appropriate that the Doyen of the Ghanaian independence movement should get this treatment at a time when the Danquah-Busia tradition is on the ascendancy in Ghana."
-Roger Gocking, historian, Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, New York, author of The History of Ghana and Facing Two Ways: Ghana's Coastal Communities Under Colonial Rule.
