THE BOOK
Kings, Priests, Kinsmen: Essays on Ga Culture and Society is a col-
lection of E. A. Ammah s ethnographic writing which includes essays,
some poetry, and other documents. Created over four decades, these
pieces cover a wide range of topics including Ga culture in comparative
perspective, Ga social organization, Ga political structure and history,
Ga life transition ceremonies, and Ga religion. The collection provides
a unique cultural insider’s twentieth century perspective on Ga society
and history.
THE AUTHOR
■ During his lifetime E. A. Ammah (1900-1980) was cel-
ebrated as an expert on Ga culture and society. He
was the first Ga person to speak on the radio and he
published several essays in Ghanaian publications. As
head of one of three royal houses, he was an active
participant on the Ga Royal Council. As a devout Angli-
can, he sought to demonstrate the correspondences
between Ga religion and Christianity and other world
religions. E. A. Ammah’s ethnographic vision had two principal compo-
nents: ensuring the accurate recording and interpretation of Ga institu-
tions and positioning Ga culture within the context of other world cul-
tures.
THE EDITOR
Marion Kilson began studying Ga culture for her doc-
toral dissertation; she received her Ph. D. in Social
Anthropology from Harvard University in 1967. Her
previous publications on Ga topics include Kpele Lata:
Ga Religious Songs and Symbols (Harvard University
Press, 1971), African Urban Kinsmen: The Ga of Cen-
tral Accra (C. Hurst, 1974), and Dancing with the Gods:
Essays in Ga Ritual (University Press of America, 2013).
The National Council of Ghanaian Associations gave her the Scholastic
Award for Outstanding Contribution to Ghanaian Culture and Traditional
Practices at the Benefit Gala in Honor of Ghana s Golden Jubilee in New
York City in 2007.
