The book traces Kente history and how it has been used since its invention, about four hundred years ago, by an Ashanti hunter. The two authors are Ashantis and traditionalists. The coauthor was born into the industry at Bonwire. He received a national award as Ghanas best Kente designer and weaver in 2008.
