- Summary:
- Pulling together a group of Cameroon experts and Africanists, this book is a critical, comprehensive assessment of post-colonial Cameroon's struggle at nation-building, governance, democracy and economic development in a multiethnic state and society in which even 'non-political' issues (e.g., football or soccer and popular music) are politicized.
