The book delves into the kingship struggle in Winneba, Ghana, highlighting the perspectives of colonial administrators and detailing the significant court ruling in June 2013. It contrasts the patrilineal Otuano Royal Family's claims with the matrilineal succession favored by the non-royal Acquah faction, reflecting deeper cultural and historical tensions within the Akan community. Through this examination, the work sheds light on the complexities of tradition, power, and identity in contemporary Ghanaian society.
