Located in a culturally rich area of the Volta Region of Ghana, Keta-Sómeawo was renowned for its scenic coastal landscapes and historical significance, especially for the Ewe-speaking communities. Although scholars have written on many aspects of Keta-Sómeawo’s history, such works lack detailed historical explanations of the age-long changing relations between the Keta-Sómeawo and Anlo. In this regard, Afeadie and Worclachies’ Foundations of Agbozume: The Keta-Sómeawo in Ghana, A.D. 1000-1930 is not only timely but is an important contribution to the historiography of both the pre-colonial and colonial history of Ghana. The authors’ extensive knowledge of Ghanaian history lends authority to this ambitious undertaking.
