Cameroon: Thoughts and Memories: Ethnological Research in Oku and Kembong 1975–2005

by Hans-Joachim Koloss

In this volume, Hans-Joachim Koloss describes the circumstances and settings of his ethnological research on secret societies in Oku and Kembong in Cameroon from 1975 to 2005. The comprehensive material collected in the course of his research—particularly on the monarchical, egalitarian, and religious traditions—is a basis for discussion, not only of specific aspects of modern fieldwork theory, but also of the results gained by other fieldworkers in Oku. This is the final volume of his Cameroon trilogy.
