Beschreibung

This will be the first book to focus on the African patrons, who commissioned grand family mansions from the 1860s to 1950s, to highlight their intentions during the tumultuous period in the Gold Coast Colony (part of present-day Ghana) from roughly 1874 to independence from the British on March 6, 1957.
