Ghana - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture

I purchased this little book a week ago so I could familiarize myself with the Ghanaian culture etc.. Was a very informative read I learnt quite a bit.

The author has a deep understanding and respect for the nation and people of Ghana. Basic information is summarized but I most appreciated the cultural insights on greetings, foods, relationship expectations, etc. Includes great anecdotes and proverbs from the culture. I lived there for 10 years and I still learned so much from this book. Highly recommend.

I love to read about other places and cultures.This book was written by a team that understands and loves Ghana.The writing is conversational and effective.My favorite part of the book is the Dos and Don'ts section.The book is completely accurate when compared to my own travels to the cradle of independence in Africa.The people there are friendly, supportive, and fun loving, and this comes across in the book.It would have been even better if there had been a whole section on common phrases and sayings. (There were examples in the text, but somewhere to look up common words would have been helpful.)All in all, this is a great book, and wonderful way to start your studies of Ghana and its people.

Very informative and interesting

The book content seems ok thus far. But I bought it new and it came really beat up. There is damage to the exterior and some pages.

It's a small book, but very informative with helpful information about the culture, food, history, and traditions of Ghana. We especially loved reading the Ghanaian Proverbs listed.

CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR VISITORS TO GHANA.

The guide is up to date and covers a wide range of facts. The rich illustrations and tables make it vivid and interesting. Can be highly recommended.

Me ha gustado pq. tiene mucha información, en un tamaño de bolsillo muy manejable.

Full of stereotypes and flawed. We are at a dawn where the true horrors of what the British and other European countries did over hundreds of years and repercussions still felt today are clear to see. Too many books like this written from the point of view of somebody who of course cannot show real shame for their country of origin.
