Yaa Asantewaa's Exile: Life in the Seychelles After the War of the Golden Stool

This episode follows Yaa Asantewaa, the Asante warrior queen, into exile after the 1900 War of the Golden Stool. Lucas and Luna explore what daily life was like for the Asante royals banished to the Seychelles — their housing, restrictions, education, and the quiet resistance of maintaining tradition far from home. They discuss the British strategy of isolating leaders, the small community of exiles that included Prempeh I and Yaa Akyaa, and how the exile shaped later Asante identity. The conversation draws on letters, colonial records, and oral accounts to paint a vivid picture of loss, adaptation, and resilience on a remote Indian Ocean island. #YaaAsantewaa #Seychelles #WarOfTheGoldenStool #Asante #Ghana #GoldCoast #BritishEmpire #Exile #PrempehI #YaaAkyaa #Asantehemaa #OralHistory #Colonialism #Resistance #History #FexingoHistory #WestAfrica #19thCentury Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
