GHANA - AN OVERVIEW We cannot possibly appreciate the culture of a country without having some introduction to the country itself. Ghana is a sub-Saharan African country, situated on the Western Coast of Africa. With a population of a little over 23 million, and a per capita GDP of over US $ 3000 on a purchasing parity basis, Ghana is not very different from other third world countries in Africa. Historically, it is named after the medieval Ghana Empire that thrived around 500 km north of the present day Ghana in Thirteenth century. In modern times, it has been known as the 'Gold Coast' due to the discovery of Gold there in fifteenth century. It was colonised by Portuguese, and later by British. Arguably, the country has the longest contact with Europeans, especially Britain, among the countries of the region. As a multicultural, multiethnic society, Ghana has over a hundred separately identifiable ethno-linguistic groups. The important ones include AKAN, EWE, MOLE-DAGBANE, GUAN, and GA-ADANGBE. While ethnic tensions are not unknown and sporadic inflammation of rivalry and violence also occur, by and large, the heterogeneous society of Ghana has been living in peace.

Zimbabwe Ghana Culture, Map, Flag, Tourist Places Ghana is situated on the southern coast of the West African bulge and is bordered to the east by Togo, to the west by the Ivory Coast, to the south by the Atlantic Ocean and to the north and northwest by Burkina Fasso. The coastline consists mostly of a low sandy, foreshore behind which stretches the coastal plain, except in the west where the forest comes down to the sea. The forest belt, which extends northward from the western coast and then eastward into Ashanti for about 170 miles, is broken up into heavily wooded hills and steep ridges. North of the forest is undulating savanna drained by the Black Volta and White Volta rivers, which join and flow south to the sea through a narrow gap in the hills. Ghana's highest point is 2,9000 feet in a range of hills on the eastern border. Apart from the Volta, only the Pra and the Ankobra rivers permanently pierce the sand dunes, most of the other rivers terminate in brackish lagoons. There are no natural harbours. Ancient Ghana derived power and wealth from gold and the introduction of the camel during the Trans-Saharan trade increased the quantity of goods that were transported. Majority of the knowledge of Ghana comes from the Arab writers. Al-Hamdani, for example, describes Ghana as having the richest gold mines on earth. These mines were situated at Bambuk, on the upper Senegal river. The Soninke people also sold slaves, salt and copper in exchange for textiles, beads and finished goods. They built their capital city, Kumbi Saleh, right on the edge of the Sahara and the city quickly became the most dynamic and important southern terminus of the Saharan trade routes. Kumbi Saleh became the focus of all trade, with a systematic form of taxation. Later on Audaghust became another commercial centre.
