Negotiating an Anglophone Identity: A Study of the Politics of Recognition and Representation in Cameroon

Rate this book
This study of Cameroon captures, with fascinating detail and insight, the growing disaffection with the sterile rhetoric of nation-building that has characterised much of postcolonial African politics. It focuses on the resistance of
Anglophone Cameroonians to nationhood, which is being pursued to the detriment of minority identities.

Dieses Buch ist definitiv mehr als eine historische Bestandsaufnahme; es ist ein analytischer Schlüssel zum Verständnis der tiefen Verwerfungen, die in die heutige anglophone Krise Kameruns münden. Präzise zeigt es, wie aus sprachlicher und kultureller Marginalisierung ein politischer Konflikt von explosiver Tragweite entstehen konnte. Wer begreifen will, warum Geschichte hier nicht vergeht, sondern fortwirkt, findet in dieser Studie das unverzichtbare Fundament.
