Autorenporträt
Tom McCaskie first worked in Asante in 1967-1969 when he was a Research Fellow in the Department of History, University of Ghana at Legon. His Ph.D. (Cambridge University, 1974) was on the reign of the Asantehene Kwaku Dua (1834-1867). Since then he successively occupied professorial chairs at the Centre of West African Studies, University of Birmingham and the School of Oriental & African Studies, University of London. In addition to his ongoing research and publication on Asante he has also written on Achaemenid Persia and on Roman archaeology.
