Book Synopsis Post-Colonial Cameroon by : Joseph Takougang
Download or read book Post-Colonial Cameroon written by Joseph Takougang and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique volume, leading scholars examine how Cameroonians organize and experience their lives under Cameroonian leadership and local responses to that leadership. The volume offers essential case studies that allow us to examine the lives of ordinary people in post-colonial Africa through five lenses: politics, society and culture, economy, international relations, and migration. It places the nation’s contemporary challenges within a broader political, economic, and socio-cultural context, and uses that to make recommendations for future directions. The book also celebrates areas in which the country has done well and calls on its citizens to build on those achievements. This volume is forward-looking and as such raises important questions about issues of development, ethnicity, wealth, poverty, and class.
Book Synopsis Gender, Separatist Politics, and Embodied Nationalism in Cameroon by : Jacqueline-Bethel Tchouta Mougoué
Download or read book Gender, Separatist Politics, and Embodied Nationalism in Cameroon written by Jacqueline-Bethel Tchouta Mougoué and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender, Separatist Politics, and Embodied Nationalism in Cameroon illuminates how issues of ideal womanhood shaped the Anglophone Cameroonian nationalist movement in the first decade of independence in Cameroon, a west-central African country. Drawing upon history, political science, gender studies, and feminist epistemologies, the book examines how formally educated women sought to protect the cultural values and the self-determination of the Anglophone Cameroonian state as Francophone Cameroon prepared to dismantle the federal republic. The book defines and uses the concept of embodied nationalism to illustrate the political importance of women’s everyday behavior—the clothes they wore, the foods they cooked, whether they gossiped, and their deference to their husbands. The result, in this fascinating approach, reveals that West Cameroon, which included English-speaking areas, was a progressive and autonomous nation. The author’s sources include oral interviews and archival records such as women’s newspaper advice columns, Cameroon’s first cooking book, and the first novel published by an Anglophone Cameroonian woman.
Book Synopsis The Golden Age of Southern Cameroons by : Ndi, Anthony
Download or read book The Golden Age of Southern Cameroons written by Ndi, Anthony and published by Spears Media Press. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that since the emergence of the Cameroon National Union (CNU) and the one-party state in 1966, Cameroonians have progressively degenerated into the syndrome of collective amnesia inspired by a culture of sycophancy, glorifying and deifying political leadership. These developments stand in stark contrast to what obtained in the nascent Southern Cameroons – the UN Trust territory administered by Britain until 1961 when its population voted overwhelmingly by 70.5% to gain their independence by establishing a federation with the then French-speaking Republic of Cameroon. From the late 1950s until the dismantling of the Cameroon Federation, Southern Cameroons and later West Cameroon had a vibrant parliament, a House of Chiefs (or Senate), an independent Judiciary, an ideal, corruption-free Public Service, a state government with ministers presided over by an Executive Prime Minister and, for a decade, West Cameroon provided the Vice Presidency for the Federal Republic of Cameroon. In what may be accurately described as Prof Anthony Ndi’s seminal work, he contends and rightly so that solutions to the legion of problems that plague contemporary Cameroon may be easily found in the pages of The Golden Age of Southern Cameroons. Agents for this transformation do not have to be invented or imported from Mars; all we need is a patriotic spirit, political will, readiness to dialogue, transparency and commitment to democracy.

Download or read book Cameroon written by Emmanuel Konde and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-01-16 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroun was conceived in 1947 at the Unicafra Congress in Douala, attended by all the aspiring political actors, from which sprung Racam (Rassemblement Camerounais) that declared itself the Cameroun government in embryo. Shocked by that effrontery, the French colonial state immediately banned Racam. From the ruins of Racam emerged Union des Populations du Cameroun (UPC) in 1948 that stood opposed to French policies in Cameroun. It opposed France in Cameroon for ten years until the French assassinated its leaderRuben Um Nyobein September 1958. In January 1959 France decolonized and granted Cameroun independence at a time when the people were still reeling from the trauma of Um Nyobes death. Cameroon: Traumas of the Body Politic examines the traumatic events that have shaped the contours and influenced the trajectory of Cameroons political history from the 1940s to the 1990s: the momentous power shifts of 1958 and 1959 in the two Cameroons; rupture of coastal and hinterland cooperation in Southern Cameroons; the political revolution called anlu that changed the course of politics in Southern Cameroons; the disappointment of reunification and the genesis of the Anglophone Problem; Ahidjos quarter-century reign of terror; the succession schism, attempted coup dtat, political liberalization, and the New Deal Society experiment; the quest for multipartyism and Operation Ghost Town, etc. These events are explored anew through critical analysis, synthesis, and re-interpretation with uncommon explanatory power.
Book Synopsis Cameroon Politics and Governance by : Akpam Mboma
Download or read book Cameroon Politics and Governance written by Akpam Mboma and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon Politics and Governance. During the last two decades, many countries in sub-Sahara Africa embraced centralization as a new management strategy to render local government, broadly understood, more democratic, accountable, and responsive to the pressing social and economic needs of their citizens. The urgency of these reforms could, in part, be explained in a global socioeconomic context defined by large scale and rapid urbanization with concomitant social, economic, and political problems. These problems find concrete outlet in housing shortages, widespread unemployment, increasing poverty, environmental and sanitation problems, and failing social services in urban milieus. The said problems have been amplified by inadequate and sometimes contradictory political and administrative responses to the worsening physical and social infrastructure that are woefully in short supply, and have therefore, failed to respond in any meaningful way to growing pressures of rapid urban population growth in Africa.

Book Synopsis Cameroon in the 21st Century by : Isabelle Piot-Lepetit
Download or read book Cameroon in the 21st Century written by Isabelle Piot-Lepetit and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon (officially regarded as the Republic of Cameroon) is a country with vast natural resources and a population of 22.8 million people. It is also culturally and geographically very diverse. Due to its geographical and cultural diversity, Cameroon is often referred to as Africa in miniature. This country is currently considered as a lower middle-income country by the World Bank through social indicators and levels of poverty, which are below those for comparing countries. However, the Government of Cameroon aims to achieve a state of higher middle-income by 2035. There exists a huge potential for economic growth and poverty reduction in Cameroon. Indeed, over the last decade, the country has been characterized by a positive economic growth, spurred by large public investments in infrastructure. However, to attain the higher middle-income status by 2035, growth needs to accelerate further. As the public sector alone cannot bring this about, much more private investments are necessary. Doing so also requires improvements in the business environment. However, despite more than a decade of economic growth, national poverty has remained almost unchanged. While Cameroon is urbanizing rapidly, poverty remains a rural phenomenon and is increasingly concentrated in northern Cameroon. The aim of the book is to provide an overview of the main issues, challenges, and prospects faced by Cameroon. The book is composed of conceptual and empirical studies of Cameroonian scholars gathered together in order to provide descriptions and explanations of the main issues as well as policy recommendations to support decisions-makers. These considerations are those of Cameroonians for Cameroon. The book is organized into two volumes. The first one, entitled Governance and Businesses, is devoted to issues relating to public governance, investment climate, insecurity, globalization, business development, and activities that are sources of employment in Cameroon. The second volume, entitled Environment and People, deals with issues concerning the management of cross cutting economic services, the conservation of forests, the sustainable development of agricultural activities, the role of women, the immobility of workers, problems of development and poverty alleviation, millennium development goals, the performance of microfinance institutions, multilingualism, and education in Cameroon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the story of my stay in Cameroon in 1982. The two years I had spent as an aid volunteer in Ethiopia were a real revelation and a time of discovery for me. I wasn't ready to return to Europe where everything was so organized and predictable. To me, Africa was the last Far West of the 20th century and this was where I wanted to live. So I left to work in the bush looking for adventure; the least I can say is that I found many thrills and much more...!
Book Synopsis Nation of Outlaws, State of Violence by : Meredith Terretta
Download or read book Nation of Outlaws, State of Violence written by Meredith Terretta and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-08 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nation of Outlaws, State of Violence is the first extensive history of Cameroonian nationalism to consider the global and local influences that shaped the movement within the French and British Cameroons and beyond. Drawing on the archives of the United Nations, France, Great Britain, Ghana, and Cameroon, as well as oral sources, Nation of Outlaws, State of Violence chronicles the spread of the Union des populations du Cameroun (UPC) nationalist movement from the late 1940s into the first postcolonial decade. It shows how, in the French and British Cameroon territories administered as UN Trusteeships after the Second World War, notions of international human rights, the promise of Third World independence, Pan-African federation, and national citizenship blended with local political and spiritual practices that resurfaced as the period of European rule came to a close. After French and British administrators banned the party in the mid-1950s, UPC nationalists adopted violence as a revolutionary strategy. In the 1960s, the nationalist vision disintegrated. The postcolonial regime labeled UPC nationalists “outlaws” and rounded them up for imprisonment or execution as the state shifted to single-party rule in 1966. Nation of Outlaws, State of Violence traces the connection between local and transregional politics in the age of Africa’s decolonization and the early decades of the Cold War. Rather than stop at official independence as most conventional histories of African nationalist movements do, this book considers postindependence events as crucial to the history of Cameroonian nationalism and to an understanding of the postcolonial government that came to power on 1 January 1960. While the history of the UPC is a story that ends with the party’s failure to gain access to political power with independence, it is also a story of the postcolonial state’s failure to become a nation.
Book Synopsis Cameroonian Immigrants in the United States by : Joseph Takougang
Download or read book Cameroonian Immigrants in the United States written by Joseph Takougang and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Cameroon’s image as a stable nation with a strong economy may have mitigated against any large-scale migration by Cameroonians following independence, the economic collapse beginning in the mid-1980s and the coerced implementation of democratic reforms in the early 1990s exposed fault lines in the nation’s economic and political institutions. As a result, thousands of Cameroonians have left the country in search of a better life abroad. While Europe remains the favorite destination for many of these migrants, a significant number have also come to the United States. Cameroonian Immigrants in the United States examines the increase in the population of Cameroonians in the United States in the last two decades, the difficulties that many of them must endure in order to come to America, and the challenges they face adapting to their new environment. Despite the problems they face, these new immigrants are creating a home in America. At the same time, however, they remain connected to their country of birth through remittances to friends and family members and other forms of investments and development projects in their communities.

Book Synopsis Africa's Political Wastelands: The Bastardization of Cameroon by : Fru Doh
Download or read book Africa's Political Wastelands: The Bastardization of Cameroon written by Fru Doh and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa?s Political Wastelands explores and confirms the fact that because of irresponsible, corrupt, selfish, and unpatriotic kleptocrats parading as leaders, the ultimate breakdown of order has become the norm in African nations, especially those south of the Sahara. The result is the virtual annihilation of once thriving and proud nations along with the citizenry who are transformed into wretches, vagrants, and in the extreme, refugees. Doh uses Cameroon as an exemplary microcosm to make this point while still holding imperialist ambitions largely responsible for the status quo in Africa. Ultimately, in the hope of jumpstarting the process, he makes pertinent suggestions on turning the tide on the continent.
Book Synopsis The Acquisition of Africa (1870-1914) by : Mieke van der Linden
Download or read book The Acquisition of Africa (1870-1914) written by Mieke van der Linden and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over recent decades, the responsibility for the past actions of the European colonial powers in relation to their former colonies has been subject to a lively debate. In this book, the question of the responsibility under international law of former colonial States is addressed. Such a legal responsibility would presuppose the violation of the international law that was applicable at the time of colonization. In the ‘Scramble for Africa’ during the Age of New Imperialism (1870-1914), European States and non-State actors mainly used cession and protectorate treaties to acquire territorial sovereignty (imperium) and property rights over land (dominium). The question is raised whether Europeans did or did not on a systematic scale breach these treaties in the context of the acquisition of territory and the expansion of empire, mainly through extending sovereignty rights and, subsequently, intervening in the internal affairs of African political entities.
Book Synopsis PAUL BIYA of CAMEROON: Three-Plus Decades of Misrule Under an Anachronistic French-imposed System by : Janvier Tchouteu
Download or read book PAUL BIYA of CAMEROON: Three-Plus Decades of Misrule Under an Anachronistic French-imposed System written by Janvier Tchouteu and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Biya, the octogenarian second president of Cameroon has been power for forty-six years (ten years as Prime Minister, which is the second highest office of the land, and thirty-six years as the President ---the highest office of the land), making him Africa's and the world's longest-serving head of state who is a non-royal. He is the caretaker of a six-decade-old system put in place by France before it allowed Cameroon to become a member of the United Nations Organization on January 01, 1960 by granting it its so-called independence, a system made up of a Cameroonian political establishment of French lackeys and their French overlords that effectively operates like a mafia to safeguard France's lopsided dealings and interest in Cameroon and the rest of Francophone Africa.The French-backed political mafia that Paul Biya is presiding over has created the most efficient election-rigging machinery in the world and the most undemocratic pluralistic country on earth with close to three hundred political parties, ninety-nine plus percent of which are appendages of the system. The system created these pseudo-parties with the purpose of validating his electoral charades that are always backed by the foreign powers whose interest he is serving.In this pseudo-democracy where less than 10% of the voting population gets to participate in elections, where Paul Biya does not even bother to campaign, and where political lethargy and political apathy runs high, a culture of deception is mushrooming that would soon snuff out what is left of the progressive Cameroonian values that made the country prominent in the last century.In this account, Janvier Tchouteu takes the reader hand-in-hand in the journey for an insight into the shackled heart of Africa and the rule of an octogenarian who hates the people of the country he has been misruling to serve the interests of his puppet masters.
