Sister Linda recently sent me a painting that she started as a rough sketch and turned into a lovely reminder of four books I have written on/about Africa, and Ghana in particular:
A New Land to Live In: the Odyssey of an African and an American Seeking God's Guidance on Marriage(Intervarsity Press, 1977), written after my marriage in Ghana to Kwadwo Osseo-Asare in 1972;
A Good Soup Attracts Chairs: A First African Cookbook for American Kids (Pelican Publishing Company, 1993), written as I was teaching my own children--first Abena, Masi, and DK [and later adopted nephews Sam and Ernest, and children in pre-school, kindergarten, and various elementary school children in PA] to cook Ghanaian food;
Food Culture in Sub-Saharan Africa(Greenwood Press, 2005)
The Ghana Cookbook, (Hippocrene Press, 2015), with collaborator Barbara Baëta
I should mention, too, my unpublished dissertation, which provided background and context for much of my writing:
We Are Magicians: Chronic Stress and the Economy of Affection in Africa (Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, The Pennsylvania State University, 1991)
