Énigmes des temps
Dans ce recueil, « la parole du poète se déploie ; elle se dérobe. Elle s’insinue dans les failles, efface les marges, côtoie les abîmes et maraude autour des gouffres de l’être pour sonder l’énigme du temps, l’opacité et l’équivocité du vivant. Loin d’un nationalisme nihiliste qui prospère en ces heures délicates, en porte-à-faux avec les prophéties effondristes actuelles, le poète Kamwa invite à habiter ensemble autrement notre monde, notre terre, au-delà des appartenances primaires et factices. » Jean Claude Abada Medjo.
Francophonies nomades. Déterritorialisation, reterritorialisation et enracinerrance
Cet ouvrage aborde la question du nomadisme dans la triple dimension de la déconstruction des imaginaires et des savoirs francophones, de la mobilité et de la transdisciplinarité. Ces trois paradigmes situent ce projet d'écriture à la croisée des parcours épistémologiques s'inscrivant dans les domaines de la littérature, la linguistique, la sociolinguistique, la traductologie, la philosophie et l'archivistique.

Mount Pleasant
A majestic tale of colonialism and transformation, Patrice Nganang's Mount Pleasant tells the astonishing story of the birth of modern Cameroon, a place subject to the whims of the French and the Germans, yet engaged in a cultural revolution. In 1931, Sara is taken from her family and brought to Mount Pleasant as a gift for Sultan Njoya, a ruler cast into exile by French colonialists. Merely nine years old, she is on the verge of becoming the sultan’s 681st wife. But when she is dragged to Bertha, the long-suffering slave charged with training Njoya’s brides, Sara’s life takes a curious turn. Bertha sees within this little girl her son Nebu, who died tragically years before, and she sa...
The Suburbs
While suburbs provide a rich field of research for sociologists, architects, urbanists and anthropologists, they have not been given much attention in literary and cultural studies. The Suburbs: New Literary Perspectives sets out to enrich the limited existing body of critical analysis on the subject with a landmark collection of essays offering a far larger perspective than the books or collections published so far on the topic. This interdisciplinary and wide-ranging approach includes literary and art studies, philosophy, and cultural comment. It examines the suburbs across cultural differences, contrasting British, South African and North American suburbs. The specificity of this book the...
When the Plums Are Ripe
The second volume in a magisterial trilogy, the story of Cameroon caught between empires during World War II In Cameroon, plum season is a highly anticipated time of year. But for the narrator of When the Plums Are Ripe, the poet Pouka, the season reminds him of the “time when our country had discovered the root not so much of its own violence as that of the world’s own, and, in response, had thrown its sons who at that time were called Senegalese infantrymen into the desert, just as in the evenings the sellers throw all their still-unsold plums into the embers.” In this novel of radiant lyricism, Patrice Nganang recounts the story of Cameroon’s forced entry into World War II, and in...
