A vailable studies of Asante history have provided illuminating insights about Asante society at different points in time. These snapshots were often taken of a centralized Asante state in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Ivor Wilks has provided valuable analyses of an early assimilative Asante society, marked by egalitarian social structures, and a stratified imperial Asante in the nineteenth century. 1 Wilks, George Hagan, and Larry Yarak have examined the evolution of an Asante bureaucracy or administration. 2 Kwame Arhin has offered various portraits of a centralized Asante state: the military expansion of Asante, the structure of the Asante empire, and internal social stratification in the nineteenth century. 3 The Asante empire’s twilight years are captured in the works of William Tordoff and Thomas Lewin. 4 Historians, such as Jean Allman, have sought recently to redress the paucity of studies on twentieth-century Asante. 5
