Political Philosophies and Nation-Building in Cameroon
Author: Aseh AndrewPublisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 9956764612
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
This is a comprehensive text on the function of thought in the history and political sociology of Cameroon. The book brings out how the hidden hand of history fashions a political thought which, in turn, creates its own history. Instead of Cameroonians making history, history makes Cameroonians. The book shows how political ideas are fashioned in a post-colonial context in which Europeans impose a superordinate arrangement on a people together with its philosophers. Thinking the nation in Cameroon on behalf of Europeans, especially after the leaders of the national liberation struggle were all eliminated, European philosophers put in place a repressive machine under which Cameroonians were subjected between 1958 and 1990. Repression gave way to a refined form of enslavement a modernised version of slavery. Cameroonians joined the bandwagon and have been producing and reproducing Western industrial economies while day-dreaming of what they will never become. The whole idea of nation-building in post-colonial Africa is put in question. This book offers students of political studies, sociology, anthropology and history compelling evidence to grapple with questions as to whether Cameroon is a state or a nation and questions of sovereignty and citizenship.

Pages : 360
Book Description
The explorers and adventure travelers in this anthology are men of great distinction, courage, modesty and insight. The common denominator that fits them all is that they had a powerful urge to explore and discover. They are brilliant and passionate writers. They all abandoned the comforts of life at home, and paid a high personal price for their wanderlust. Garfinkel's discovery of long lost explorers may be as important as the adventures they write about. Book jacket.
