Amin and Joseph TakougangReviewsThis impressive collection of essays by Cameroonian scholars both abroad and at home presents a wide variety of insights into contemporary Cameroon with sections on politics, economy, society and culture, international relations, migration, and important concluding comments on the current political crisis.--Mark Dike DeLancey, DePaul University This volume is an extraordinary treat for scholars of Cameroon and African historiography. Fusing a wide range of themes including previously overlooked issues such as return migration, representations of femininity and motherhood, religious modernity, environmental degradation and nature protection, this volume makes a particularly expedient case for robust interdisciplinary conversations on current Cameroonian society. Though much has been written about Cameroon's latter-day Machiavellian political culture, epitomized by Paul Biya's enduring three decades of unrepentant misrule, this monograph breaks new ground by moving the spotlight away from the autocrat himself and focusing instead on the resilience of everyday life in the postcolony. By synthesizing sharp analysis of politics, the economy, society and culture and international relations, this volume deepens our knowledge of today's Cameroon and its emergent diasporic spaces. This multidisciplinary effort, predictably has brought together seasoned and junior scholars, both Anglophone and Francophone, home-based and diasporic, women and men dedicated to the enterprise of knowledge production that lightens the murky and sometimes sleepy alleys of a postcolony yet to rise to its herculean potentials.--Jude Fokwang, Regis University This impressive collection of essays by Cameroonian scholars both abroad and at home presents a wide variety of insights into contemporary Cameroon with sections on politics, economy, society and culture, international relations, migration, and important concluding comments on the current political crisis. -- Mark Dike DeLancey This volume is an extraordinary treat for scholars of Cameroon and African historiography.

The contributors provide varied perspectives that capture a perpetually restless country, but one teeming with enviable human and natural resources which its leadership has failed to summon. Indeed, the editors underscore the brief optimism that welcomed President Paul Biya following the resignation of his predecessor. The work concludes that the brutal repression of peaceful demonstrators and the rise of secessionists movement are direct consequences of the Biya decades and could be the defining event in the history of the country. -- B.
