Choking
In this collection, poet Michael Kengnjoh invites the reader to appreciate a world in which the game of power takes central stage. The poems deal with the themes of politics, the economy, the fate of the masses and leaders’ desperate attempts to cling to power. It is a collection that invites humanity to reflect on the fleeting nature of power, the need to liberate both the vulnerable and the powerful, the transitory nature of life, and the alternative possibilities that abound.
The Anglophone Question and Postcolonial Hegemony in Cameroon Vol 2
The Anglophone Question & Postcolonial Hegemony in Cameroon: The Past that Did Not Pass is a comprehensive collection of essays and analyses that explore the historical, colonial, postcolonial, legal, and international relations aspects of the politico-cultural and linguistic crisis between the English-speaking former British Southern Cameroons (now divided into the Northwest and Southwest regions), and the French-speaking majority of the former French Cameroon, la République du Cameroun. This conflict has shaken Cameroon to its core since the 1990s and led to an armed conflict between the government of Cameroon and Anglophone non-state armed groups. The premise of this book is that the Ang...
Sibi’s Adventures in Alahtene
Meet Sibi, a vivacious, smart, and audacious girl who leaves the comforts of her coastal town and parents to live with Ndih, her granny in the village of Alahtene. Sibi’s integration into village life is swift and adventurous, aided by the ever-soothing supervision of her equally gallant grandmother and teenage uncle, Ajuenekoh. Recounted from the first person, we follow Sibi’s adventures in school, church, neighbourhoods, the rivers, hills and forests of Alahtene, its buzzy market and most significantly, around Ndih’s fireside. Set in the early 1960s, Sibi’s Adventures in Alahtene bubbles with dozens of breathtaking stories about the intrigues of adult life and childhood in a rural community rapidly integrating into a newly formed African country.
The Politics of the British Cameroons Plebiscites
In the closing stages of its quest for independence, the British Cameroons found itself at a critical juncture when the United Nations decided it was not economically viable to stand on its own and should instead unite with one of its neighbors. Three plebiscites were held between 1959 and 1961 for the people to decide on their fate. Those plebiscites stimulated conflicting interests from concerned parties. The plebiscites of 1961 were particularly keenly contested and resulted in an even split of the Territory between Nigeria and Cameroun, profoundly affecting the destinies of both countries. This book analyses the interplay of foreign and domestic actors in the British Cameroons plebiscites and the impact of the choices made. Students of African history will find it informative and valuable, as it throws light on events that broke new ground on the continent.

History and Its True Colors
History and Its True Colors is the poet’s reflection on history from the multiple positionalities of creativity and self, personal relations, society, nationality, race, humanity, and life. The nine unique and yet interrelated movements of the collection not only memorialize the African past but also represent the journey to the past, for its remains still affect human experiences today. It is a past that has not fully passed because the past and the present are connected and capable of shaping the future. The poems also reflect a journey within and without the poet’s life experiences.

Cultivating Moral Citizenship
In Cultivating Moral Citizenship, ethnographer, Jude Fokwang unpacks the meanings, mechanisms and processes through which young people in an inner city of the West African nation of Cameroon respond to local and global challenges as they seek to position themselves as social adults. Faced with the decline of old predictabilities, the diminishing capacity of the postcolonial state to control its destiny and the precarity of waithood, young people instrumentalise the opportunities and resources afforded by associations to build reciprocal relationships that advance their individual and collective pursuits in a community that has increasingly become transnational. In positioning themselves as moral actors, the young people in this ethnography invest in high profile social and communal projects, including the enforcement of moral orthodoxies that enable readers to appreciate the ways in which moral citizenship is engendered, expanded and eroded simultaneously.
