Conversations With My Father (Hardcover)

Conversations With My Father is a biography of Mr Boahene Yeboah-Afari, Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s first Minister of Agriculture and the first Commissioner (Minister) of the Brong-Ahafo Region. The accomplishments of the late statesman stand out against the backdrop of the turbulent pioneering years of militant nationalism in Ghana leading to Independence on March 6, 1957, under the leadership of Dr Kwame Nkrumah and the Convention People’s Party.

Its special appeal lies in the unique contribution it makes to the understanding of nationalist polities in those early years of political awakening in Ghana.

Conversations With My Father is about one of the unsung heroes of Ghana’s national politics and should be a dependable source of information for scholars, historians and political leaders, not only of Brong-Ahafo, but of Ghana as a whole. ~ Professor Gilbert Keith Bluwey, Head, Department of Political Science and International Relations, Mount Crest University College, Accra
