Outline of Ghana (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Republic of Ghana is a sovereign country located in West Africa. Ghana borders C te d'Ivoire to the west, Burkina Faso to the north, Togo to the east, and the Gulf of Guinea to the south. The word "Ghana" means "Warrior King," and was the source of the name "Guinea" (via French Guinoye) used to refer to the West African coast (as in Gulf of Guinea). Ghana was inhabited in pre-colonial times by a number of ancient kingdoms, including the Ga Adangbes on the eastern coast, inland Empire of Ashanti and various Fante states along the coast and inland.
