Gold Coast Nation and National Consciousness

Discover the profound insights of Rev. S.R. Ahuma in "Gold Coast Nation and National Consciousness," published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 1971. This compelling hardback edition spans 80 pages and delves into the rich tapestry of Ghana's history from c. 1500 to c. 1900, with a particular focus on nationalism and the emergence of national consciousness in West Africa.

The book highlights the pivotal role of "The Gold Coast Leader," founded by Attoh in 1896, which became the most influential newspaper of its time. This platform was instrumental for many Gold Coast Nationalists, shaping the ideas and aspirations of an entire generation of Ghanaians. Ahuma's work not only captures the essence of a transformative period in Ghanaian history but also serves as a vital resource for those interested in African history and the dynamics of nationalism.
