商品簡介
Anglophone Cameroonians have been at the forefront of "ethno-regional" demands for the rearrangement of state power that protects their cultural identity, according to Konings (Afrika-Studie-centrum, Leiden) and Nyamnjoh (sociology, U. of Botswana). They explore the history of Anglophone and Francophone relations, discuss the strategies of opposing elites to construct identities and mobilize groups, and examine differences within the groups regarding attitudes towards pushing for secession or greater federalism.
