GaDangmes of Ghana claim through oral history that they are descendants of ancient Hebrew Israelites. They refer to themselves as Yudafoi, meaning they are Jews. This book traces the origins of GaDangmes and their migration from ancient Israel, following the attack of Israel by the Assyrians to their present abode in Ghana. The ancestors of the GaDangmes were ruled by Wulomei (The High Priesthood). The book discusses GaDangme custom and traditions, including the Homowo Festival, Otufo/Dipo, circumcision, and outdooring (sanctification) of the child after birth. These traditions and customs of GaDangmes are of Hebraic origins. GaDangmes names are like genetic markers and are scattered throughout The Old Testament. Some of the names of their towns and villages bear Hebrew names. Tamar Kemp describes the GaDangmes of Ghana as descendants of authentic biblical Hebrew/Israelites whose ancestors once reigned supreme in the motherland. Joseph Nii Abekar Mensah, PhD., is currently a clinical/educational consultant with Progressive Learning Institute & Counselling Services in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Dr. Mensah is the founder of GaDangme Heritage & Cultural Foundation. Born and raised in Accra (Ganyobi), Ghana, the author pursued studies in applied biology in London, England, with specialization in pharmacology. He also holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology and in education. "I had always wanted to know why my people call themselves 'Gamei, ' meaning 'Ga people.' I learned they are of Hebrew Israelite origins, possibly from the tribes of Gad and Dan." Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/JosephNiiAbekarMensah

"The research explored the purpose, similarities and differences between the Homowo festival in Ghana and the American Thanksgiving festival by using historical, religious, social, economic, cultural, moral and political reasons to find answers. The study used data from participant observations, libations and poems, internet articles, YouTube videos, music, cookbooks, novels and journal articles to interrogate why a group of people would celebrate a festival by annually giving thanks to a deity, on the same subject. I examined the elements that have made these two festivals survive and still remain relevant in contemporary times despite rapid social transformation and urbanization, and measure the contribution of these festivals to their societies and countries. The research found that both the Ga people and the pilgrims (puritans) are a migratory group. Secondly, both groups experienced famine, hunger and death in their migration story. Third, both groups embarked on massive food production exercises which resulted in a bumper harvest which led to feasting and thanksgiving. This led to the construction of the two festivals, Homowo (hooting at hunger) and Thanksgiving. It would be interesting to research further into the role these two festivals can play in the fight against climate change, and to help in positive climate adaptive measures"--Page v.
