Writer Ayi Kwei Armah was born in the port city of Takoradi on the Gold Coast (now Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana) in 1939. His father was descended from a royal family of the Ga in Ghana. A dispute over royal succession led to his family being exiled to Dahomey (now in Benin), and Armah’s father eventually moved to Takoradi. Armah’s mother was Fante.
