Title:
The Ewe People: A Study of the Ewe People in German Togo
Brief Description:
Originally published in 1906 as "Die Ewe-Stämme," this seminal work by Jakob Spieth offers a comprehensive study of the Ewe people residing in what was then German Togoland. The book delves into various aspects of Ewe life, including their history, religion, economic activities, and social structures. Recognized for its detailed ethnographic content, the work has been a vital resource for understanding the Ewe culture and has played a significant role in legal and cultural discussions among the Ewe communities. The English translation, published in 2011, has made this invaluable resource accessible to a broader audience.
