Book Synopsis The Congo and the Cameroons by : Mary Kingsley
Download or read book The Congo and the Cameroons written by Mary Kingsley and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemptuous of Europe's 'civilising mission' in Africa, Mary Kingsley's (1862-1900) extraordinary journeys through tropical west Africa are a remarkable record, both of a world which has vanished and of a writer and explorer of immense bravery, wit and humanity. Paddling through mangrove swamps, fending off crocodiles, climbing Mount Cameroon, Kingsley is both admirable and funny. Great Journeys allows readers to travel both around the planet and back through the centuries – but also back into ideas and worlds frightening, ruthless and cruel in different ways from our own. Few reading experiences can begin to match that of engaging with writers who saw astounding things: Great civilisations, walls of ice, violent and implacable jungles, deserts and mountains, multitudes of birds and flowers new to science. Reading these books is to see the world afresh, to rediscover a time when many cultures were quite strange to each other, where legends and stories were treated as facts and in which so much was still to be discovered.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Explorez l'Afrique de l'Ouest à travers les aventures intrépides de Mary H. Kingsley dans "Travels in West Africa (Congo Français, Corisco and Cameroons)". Laissez-vous transporter à travers la plume vibrante de Kingsley dans des régions méconnues du XIXe siècle, allant du Congo Français à Corisco et aux Camerouns. Plongez dans des récits captivants de rencontres avec des cultures tribales fascinantes, des expéditions dans des jungles épaisses et des observations aiguës sur la faune et la flore exotiques. Kingsley offre une perspective unique sur les défis et les merveilles de l'Afrique occidentale, tout en dépeignant le courage personnel nécessaire pour explorer des terres inexplorées. "Travels in West Africa" est bien plus qu'un simple récit de voyage ; c'est une fenêtre ouverte sur un monde lointain, mêlant aventure, anthropologie et exploration botanique, et invitant les lecteurs à découvrir la diversité et la beauté de l'Afrique à travers les yeux d'une exploratrice audacieuse."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in West Africa: Congo Français, Corisco and Cameroons I inquired of all my friends as a beginning what they knew of West Africa. The majority knew nothing. A percentage said, Oh, you can't possibly go there; that's where Sierra Leone is, the white man's grave, you know. If these were pressed further, one occasionally found that they had had relations who had gone out there after having been sad trials, but, on consideration Of their having left not only West Africa, but this world, were now forgiven and for gotten. One lady however kindly remembered a case Of a gentleman who had resided some few years at Fernando po, but when he returned an aged wreck of forty he shook so Violently with ague as to dislodge a chandelier, thereby destroying a valuable tea-service and flattening the silver teapot in its midst.

Book Synopsis Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon by : Mark Dike DeLancey
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon written by Mark Dike DeLancey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 831 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon is a land of much promise, but a land of unfulfilled promises. It has the potential to be an economically developed and democratic society but the struggle to live up to its potential has not gone well. Since independence there have been only two presidents of Cameroon; the current one has been in office since 1982. Endowed with a variety of climates and agricultural environments, numerous minerals and substantial forests, and a dynamic population, this is a country that should be a leader of Africa. Instead, we find a country almost paralyzed by corruption and poor management, a country with a low life expectancy and serious health problems, and a country from which the most talented and highly educated members of the population are emigrating in large numbers. To all of this is recently added a serious terrorism problem, Boko Haram, in the north, a separatist movement in the Anglophone west, refugee influxes in the north and east, and bandits from the Central African Republic attacking eastern villages. This fifth edition of Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Republic of Cameroon.

Book Synopsis Travels in West Africa by : Mary Henrietta Kingsley
Download or read book Travels in West Africa written by Mary Henrietta Kingsley and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Henrietta Kingsley was an English ethnographic and scientific writer and explorer whose travels throughout West Africa and resulting work helped shape European perceptions of African cultures and British imperialism. After a preliminary visit to the Canary Islands, Kingsley decided to travel to the west coast of Africa. The only non-African women who regularly embarked on (often dangerous) journeys to Africa were usually the wives of missionaries, government officials, or explorers. Exploration and adventure were not seen as fitting roles for women in the Victorian era. Yet, when Mary Kingsley's invalid parents died within six weeks of each other, she followed in her explorer father's footsteps and traveled to Africa against her society's every convention. Here is her lively and witty account of that journey, an immediate bestseller when it first came out in 1897 and every bit as gripping today.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon written by Mark Dike DeLancey and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-05-03 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon is a country endowed with a variety of climates and agricultural environments, numerous minerals, substantial forests, and a dynamic population. It is a country that should be a leader of Africa. Instead, we find a country almost paralyzed by corruption and poor management, a country with a low life expectancy and serious health problems, and a country from which the most talented and highly educated members of the population are emigrating in large numbers. Although Cameroon has made economic progress since independence, it has not been able to change the dependent nature of its economy. The economic situation combined with the dismal record of its political history, indicate that prospects for political stability, justice, and prosperity are dimmer than they have been for most of the country's independent existence. The fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon has been updated to reflect advances in the study of Cameroon's history as well as to provide coverage of the years since the last edition. It relates the turbulent history of Cameroon through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, events, places, organizations, and other aspects of Cameroon history from the earliest times to the present.
