Cooking the War- Warfare, Diplomacy, and Spirituality in Atlantic Africa
This episode aims to examine The Akantamanso War of 1826 in Ghana in the context of the Atlantic World. Joining me, is Ishmael Annang. He is a teacher and a historian of society and environment in Africa and the African Atlantic in the Department of History at Georgetown University, Washington D.C. He received both his undergraduate Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and graduate Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) degrees in History from the University of Ghana, Legon. He has broad research and teaching interests in Africa, Atlantic Africa, the African Atlantic/Diaspora, oral methodology, Ghana/West Africa, health and healing in Africa, African slavery, and environmental history, particularly how Africa’s environmental setting shaped Atlantic interactions in Africa and its diaspora. He is currently wrapping up his dissertation project which studies Agricultural festivals and Spiritual ecologies in the Volta River basin of Ghana during the early modern period. A spin-off article from this project is forthcoming in the Journal of West African History. His work is also forthcoming in the University of Wisconsin Press.
