WELCOME

‘‘You are welcome to my Digital Library kwesiyankahwrites.com -- a home for those who want to access my modest contribution to knowledge. This project is under the auspices of the Kwesi Yankah Foundation. The library is partly in response to a suggestion by a book-loving friend long ago who realized the risk I faced losing my diverse intellectual property if I didn’t consider a personal library of Yankah’s own contribution to knowledge. Over the period when memory started failing, I feared footprints might equally recede and raise a barrier between me and future generations. A digital library of my works became the dream; and here it comes after years of planning. Kwesiyankahwrites.com consists of books, monographs, media writings, keynote speeches from previously published works to compilations of my contemporary output as a scholar in linguistics, rhetoric, ethnography of communication; and a public intellectual. The epoch covered by this Library ranges from the last quarter of the 20th century to the first quarter of this new millennium (1977 to 2025); and this could grow further God willing. Thanks to the original academic and media outlets that gave me access to their archives: several local and international academic publishers; but also, local media houses such as Catholic Standard, the Mirror, Daily Graphic, Ghanaian Times, Public Agenda, Uhuru Magazine; and of late several social media handles. Let me refer also to extinct journals that virtually coerced me to lend their pages a ‘Kwatriotic’ touch but kept no archives, leaving my harvest at the mercy of rodents. Happily, most of my writings have been salvaged, and compiled here for electronic access. Some may be additionally printed on request. Popular writings as a columnist, however, may be accessed through a modest monetary contribution by the reader. This partly helps to maintain the project and support the Kwesi Yankah Foundation that targets rural schools for educational supplies and infrastructure. To explore the library, please open an account by the click of a button, and follow the prompts. Please support the project by reading or purchasing a book as gift to friends and relations across the world. That way you help raise future generations of writers who like me, responded to an altar call from humble villages. Read a book, buy a book and brighten learning from dark corners of our Motherland.’’
