The Power in the Writer
The book examines the creative industries of Cameroon and Africa and makes bold the cultural triumphant assertion that Africa is home to some of the most diverse cultural patrimony and the most versatile creative professionals. It also discusses indigenous development models and questions the rationale for Eurocentric democratic paradigms which have partly contributed to the demise of a concrete democratic development entitlement in most African countries. Ngwane weaves both the cultural and political strands into a search for a homegrown development web which he calls 'glocalisation'. Ngwane's essays, most of which have animated debate and discourse in national newspapers, online blogs and International journals are lucid in their arguments, poignant in their ideological focus, rich in their non-fiction craftsmanship and urgent in their message delivery. The essays will make good reading for students of Africa studies, Development studies, Politics and Culture.
Lockdown Chronicles
Lockdown Chronicles: A Journey through Memory captures a world thrust into an existential crisis by the COVID-19 pandemic. This poignant book comprises a collection of letters exchanged during the pandemic lockdown in the USA between two distinguished Cameroonians: the celebrated interdisciplinary scholar, poet, and professor, Dr. Joyce Ashuntantang and the accomplished international communication expert, Mr. Eric Chinje. Their heartfelt correspondence, spanning over a year, grapples with profound existential questions about the place of religion in our lives and the overarching question of human purpose on earth. However, what will stay with the reader are fragments of their personal life stories, which drip from memory as they cope with the boredom, stress, and anxiety brought about by the pandemic. These intimate glimpses into their lives create a rich tapestry of experiences, emotions, and reflections, making Lockdown Chronicles not just a book but a shared journey of discovery and resilience.

Das Gedächtnis der Kolonisation
Die vorliegende Studie stellt einen Versuch dar, Diskurse und Gedächtnismodi herauszuarbeiten, die der neueren Diskussion zur Kolonisation zugrunde liegen. Die Studie beantwortet die Frage, wie Kolonialismus in zeitgenössischen Erzählungen zur Kolonialzeit erinnert wird, d.h. in welchen Begriffen Literatur Bezug auf den Kolonialismus nimmt und zu welchem Zweck. Aus dem komparatistischen Vergleich geht hervor, dass die meisten Narrative, ob afrikanische oder europäische, zwar einen postkolonialen Blick auf die koloniale Vergangenheit (ent)werfen, der diskursive Standpunkt der Erzählungen aber weitgehend von dem historisch-kulturellen Gefüge abhängt, aus dem die Texte und deren Autor:in...
Couleurs & toiles
Peinture et stylisme participent du même élan créateur. Formes, mouvements, drapés, couleurs... rythment le cours de ces deux activités somme toute sœurs. Comme le styliste brode et enjolive sa toile de coton d'un coup d'aiguille, le peintre tapisse et colorie sa toile de lin d'un coup de pinceau. Inspirés de toiles de deux ouvrages, Les peintres du Fleuve et Les peintres de l'estuaire, des modèles de vingt sept stylistes et créateurs afro d'Afrique et des Caraïbes, dans leurs signatures vestimentaires respectives, sont ici regroupés, servis par une vingtaine de têtes d'affiche afro amies parmi les plus renommées, qui se prêtent volontiers au jeu du mannequinat. Ce sont des oeuvres authentiques, multicolores, multiformes et multi-ethniques, rivalisant de talent et d'originalité, résultats de synergies heureuses, reflets de l'âme afro contemporaine, que Couleurs et toiles offre à notre étonnement et notre émerveillement.
