von Michaela Pelican

260 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

It’s the first in-depth study on Cameroon that integrates the three ethnic groups (Grassfields societies, Mbororo and Hausa) in its historical and contemporary analyses. The book stands out by its methodological approach of integrating performative and narrative dimensions in its analyses. The book pursues a historically informed and gender-sensitive approach to ethnicity. It is the first study to provide up-to-date information on the Hausa community in northwest Cameroon, a community largely neglected in the literature on the region.
