Step into the rich tapestry of Nandom, a resilient community in West Africa, as this meticulously researched work uncovers the origins, traditions, and evolution of its people.

The journey begins with Zenuo, the Dikpielle ancestor, tracing the arrival of the Bekuone, Kpielle, Birifuole/Baakaale, Kuselbe Gbaane/Gane/Berewuole, Bekyiine, and Metuole clans, and the Ninbule. The book also highlights Nandom’s role in domestic slavery and the slave trade. It further delves into the settlement history of villages along the Black Volta Basin—Gungunkpe, Tuopare, Dabagteng, Naapaal, Kogle, Ketuo, and Kokoligu. This case study provides readers with an intricate view of settlement and community development, making it an essential read for those interested in the history of northern Ghana.
