A Small, Complicated Country,
By
This review is from: African Crossroads: Intersections Between History and Anthropology in Cameroon (Cameroon Studies) (Paperback)
Cameroon is a small country in Africa. yet its numerous types of diversity, in languages and ethnic groups, is Africa writ small. Added to this melange is the interaction (a euphemism for occupation) by three European empires, German, French and British. Mix all these up and one gets an amazingly complex narrative for such a compact region.The book is a collection of monographs by scholars of the country; who call themselves Cameroonists, by the way. Some chapters are a straightforward description of historial periods. Others touch on more involved issues of ethnic identity amongst the various peoples. Gives you depth of understanding about a country that is often cursorily described in most encyclopedias. Yet which has about as many people as, say, Belgium or Switzerland. |
