Critical Perspectives on Cameroon Writing
This landmark volume brings together a very rich harvest of forty critical essays on Cameroon literature by Cameroon literary scholars. The book is the result of the Second Conference on Cameroon Literature which took place at the University of Buea in 1994. The Buea conference was motivated by a determination to look at Cameroon literature straight into its face and criticize it using literary criteria of the strictest kind. Gone were the times when the criticism was complacent because it was believed that a nascent literature could easily be stifled by application of rather strict cannons of literary criticism. Both writers and critics had a lot to say. Subjects dealt with ranged from general topics on literature, survival and national identity, through specialized articles on prose, poetry, drama, translation, language, folklore, children's literature, Journalism and politics. It is the hope of the volume editors that the publication of these papers will instigate the kind of actions that were recommended and that the prolific nature of Cameroon literature will equally give rise to a prolific and robust criticism.
To Write the Africa World
In October 2016, thirty intellectuals and artists from Africa, its diasporas, and beyond gathered together in Dakar and Saint-Louis, Senegal, to reflect on the present and future of Africa in the midst of transformations that are sweeping through the contemporary world. The aim was to take stock of the renewal of Afro-diasporic critical thought and to discuss the new perspectives emerging from the ongoing projects constructing political, cultural, and social imaginaries for and from the African continent. This book brings together and makes available to the English-speaking world the material presented at the 2016 Ateliers de la pensée – Workshops of Thought – in Dakar. The authors deal...
Representations and Renegotiations of the Nation in Anglophone Cameroonian Literature
Guided by postcolonial theory and the ideas of some Western and African philosophers this study's in-depth analysis of the novels of three Anglophone Cameroonian authors addresses the question of how principles of nation formation and nationalism are influenced by both colonialism and pre-colonial in situ constituents. The analysis focuses on how nations represented in the imaginary worlds constructed by the novelists are dominated by aspects such as ethnicity, corruption, authoritarianism, nepotism, solidarity and communitarianism which marginalize the masses, leaving them in misery and abject poverty. Tracing the historical settings of the novels from 1948 till present day, the study delineates the writers' representation of the Anglophones of Cameroon as being marginalized as well as suffering from self-marginalization and also demonstrates how postcolonial misery in Africa is not caused solely by colonialism but by several other aspects. This study reads the works of these Anglophone novelists not only as representing aspects in a nation but as tools of renegotiating a better society and a way forward for this nation.

L'Afrique (centrale) des droits de l'homme :
Chaque jour en Afrique apporte son lot de violations des Droits de la personne humaine. Entre des pouvoirs autocratiques, forts de leur illégitimité, et des populations poussées à la survie et exclues de toute représentation politique, l'équilibre n'est maintenu qu'au prix d'une violence étatique immodérée, reproduite au quotidien à tous les étages de la société. Mais poser la question des Droits humains en Afrique ne revient pas seulement à dénoncer la responsabilité des Etats, c'est féconder cette notion des interrogations africaines. Individu contre communauté ? La personne n'est certes humaine que par son insertion dans des rapports sociaux. Mais si les Droits de l'individu doivent être couplés à ceux de la communauté, les citoyens africains ne feront avancer les Droits humains, que par la réappropriation de cette part d'humanité qui leur est encore refusée... Le droit d'être des humains. Tout simplement.
