Emerging Perspectives on Alobwed’Epie
This collection of essays poses the problem of the preservation of cultural identities in the present-day global context. The comparative approach of this cultural study shows the universal dimension of the issues raised in the book, highlighting that gender equality, women’s emancipation, ethnicity, religion, tradition, oppression, resistance, modernity and linguistic affinities are recurrent in many contemporary national literatures.
GLOBALISATION AND TRANSITIONAL IDEOLOGIES

Linguistic Identity in Postcolonial Multilingual Spaces
This timely volume moves away considerably from traditional topics investigated in studies of multilingualism and linguistic identity to propose new analytical approaches that investigate postcolonial societies from the standpoint of their specific internal structures.

Language Teaching and Language Use in Non-Native Settings
From Cameroon to Turkey through Jordan, this short volume illuminates the discrepancy between stated language teaching norms and real-life language use in non-native settings. It underscores the limitations of teaching materials, styles, and methods with regard to learners’ communication needs, and provides well-matched answers to foreign language classroom problems. This book will be of interest to language teachers and researchers who will gain an insight into the challenges of the foreign language class in different non-native milieus, and therefore enrich their teaching competence. Educational policy makers can also use it as a guide for designing contextually appropriate curricula and materials.

(Im)penser l'urbain au Cameroun
Le monde urbain constitue un lieu de rencontre de temporalités plurielles et des multiples arts de faire où se trament les enjeux du futur. Cet ouvrage se démarque des grilles habituellement utilisées pour révéler l'objet urbain. Il dévoile les stratégies de son appropriation, ses modes de médiation, les multi-rationalités en jeu et les logiques rebelles des acteurs sociaux. Les contributions des auteurs s'alimentent des réalités sociales engendrées dans les bas-fonds, les bidonvilles, l'informel, le formel et les bruits du monde urbain.
