After escaping in the 1600s from Agokoli, the tyrannical king of Notsie, the Ewe-speakers founded settlements near the mouth of the Volta River. What was the political structure of the Ewe society? What is the unit of Ewe social life?
What will be an ideal response?
• Territorial divisions headed by a chief (as differentiated from a "hierarchical concentration of power within a large state," that we will see in the Mande and Dagbamba kingdoms)
• The unit of Ewe social life is the extended family—people related in lineage to a common ancestor.
