- Description:
- This paper examines the nature and classes of the speech act in traditional African settings against the background of African traditional values and the right to speak. The writer attempts to portray certain aspects that could be viewed as planks to form bases for a classification of a folk system of communication in Africa, which he terms as African rhetorics. The author points out that the objective of the paper is to show how traditional African values are critical in our efforts to understand communication philosophies, ethics, processes, structures and genres in traditional African settings.

- Description:
- While the Asantehene and the Asantehemmaa are well known figures in Ghana, less familiar are the many queen mothers who function in parallel roles to chiefs in every Asante town and paramountcy. Ignored by the British and generally bypassed by modem Ghanaian leaders, queen mothers have nevertheless continued to serve their constituencies faithfully. More recently, however, globalization has discovered them, and external sources are beginning to seek them out for local projects. Yet, queen mothers continue to face serious obstacles as a precolonial female authority in a postcolonial society.
